Straight Ally Patch - How To

What you will need:

  • A ruler
  • A marking tool
  • A sewing machine
  • Thread
  • Acrylic Paint (or fabric paint) in each color of the rainbow, and black
  • Paint brushes - Flat 1/2 inch; Fine round brush.
  • Sewing Needle
  • Fabric of your choice (It can be white, or any color since you’ll be painting over it) 

Steps:

  1. Cut out 4 rectangles from your fabric of the same size. 
  2. Do asmall basting stitch in the center of the rectangle to hold everything together.
  3. With your marking tool and ruler, mark your fabric off into 6 equal sections
  4. Paint each section a color of the rainbow. (This may take a few coats.)
  5. After letting it dry completely, do a zigzag stitch around the whole rectangle 3 times (or until it’s how you like it).
  6. With black paint, and a fine brush, paint on ‘ALLY’.
  7. Let dry completely and then using the same color thread you zigzag stitched with, sew your patch onto whatever you like! (Note: When sewing your patch on, sew within the zigzag stitching -if that makes sense-)

Enjoy :D
