-2 Sew-on Large Natural Suede Leather Elbow Patches Size 4.75 in x 6.5 in w/Perforated Edges for Easy Sewing - (Beige)

I have a beloved cashmere zip up hoodie I got for Christmas. In this era of energy conservation, its blessed warmth can stand up to a lowered thermostat. However, the elbows wore out. Enter these nifty leather patches! Holes are pre-punched!Put the sweater on and use chalk to mark the best place to put the patches. Centering the patches over the holes might not look right when you are wearing the sweater. (I learned THIS the hard way.) The patch will work great even if the hole is near the edge of the patch. As long as there is about 1/2 inch of good solid fabric past the hole to sew the patch to, it's fine.I recommend cutting a piece of cardstock to slip inside the sleeve when doing the repair. It makes it super easy.It's ok if you are old and can't use a tiny needle and thread anymore. I used a huge darning needle and some stout button thread, and had no problems. I would recommend using quality silk thread if one is repairing a quality garment. Silk is strong, and the cotton button thread I originally used wore out on me and I had to re-do it.The sweater is good to go for at least another five years.

These are nice quality and I like the evenly spaced premade holes around the edges. It has a soft leather feel. The size is great for fixing a worn elbow.

It's hard to get a universal fit on patches, but I did get good coverage of an elbow on a sweater I love that is unraveling badly. The color was close enough although not exactly what I pictured, and I was surprised at how easy it was to sew on. Comes with holes already punched, so just follow the dots with your needle.

This is a great product and exactly what I was looking for.I wanted to add some flair to a cheap felt blazer and these were just the ticket.They're good quality, fairly thick, uniform color, and the precut holes make them easy to sew on.I sewed mine using heavy duty thread. Pinned it on the jacket, used a heavy duty thread and went about once using a back stitch and again using a whip stitch.Would definitely buy again.

I didn’t open this bec the actual color is much lighter brown than pictured.
