What You Need...
To make the patches you'll need:

-Iron on (non)woven interfacing (stiff, but not to hard)
-sewing kit or sewing machine (pro tip!)
-scissors
-electric iron and ironing board
-dish towel

Choose an Image...
First you have to choose the images you want to use. Than cut out a piece from the Iron on interfacing, slightly larger than the image.
Press & Cut...
Iron the interfacing to the back of the image.
After the workpiece gets cold, cut out the image but let there a little edge.

Sewing the Edge...
Sew around the patch edge (lol^^) to fix the shirt to the interfacing.
Without this step the shirt will peel off.
I should really buy myself a sewing machine, sewing by hand let me became mad, fret and bloody fingers sucks! :D
