These sketched patches are a cool accent for a shirt or jacket, or maybe even a backpack. Cathy from Trinkets in Bloom shares a tutorial at I Love To Create showing how you can make them. Fabric markers make it easy to sketch designs directly on to the fabric. From there, it takes just some simple sewing to stitch the edges and sew the patches down. You will need to be able to draw, though I think you could find ways to transfer a basic design to fabric before sketching over it with a pen. My no-drawing-skills self would probably print out a design you like and layer it under the fabric on a light table (or tape it to the window) so I could see the design through the fabric.
