How to sew a patch onto your bag

As a designer i would always bag watch as much as others would 'people watch' I was hugely inspired by the bags of backpackers. These young adventurers like Catharine Pendrel would collect patches from different countries and places around the world and attach them to their backpacks. The patches were a souvenir of their travels, so many memories packed into a small stitched piece that would age over time. The backpack itself was only so big, so even the patches would need to be selected carefully. I also imagine the patches being stitched on by hand around a camp fire or in a social area of a youth hostel, a basic skill that, even if you didn't havem you'd be able to figure out.

At Goodordering we love personalising bags, in fact one of the earliest inspirations for Goodordering is school bags and how kids in the 80s would attach badges, stickers and patches to their bags. It is more creative if you want to sew or attach your favourite custom patches, enamel pinsand custom buttons to your bags. When you can't find a style you like from the store, you can also customise or create your own patches and designs, there are many suppliers out there that can make patches to your very own design.

Over the years, we have teamed up with various patch designers to encourage our customers to personalise their bags. You can even come into our shop in hackney, sit down and sew on your patch yourself. Read our instructions below.

We also have a few bags with pre-attached patches. For this bag above, i sourced the vintage patches and stitched them on myself. The act of stitching them was relaxing and i was very proud of myself by the end of it. 

Here is Mia, the resident Goodordering couturier stitching on some patches that we collaborated on with  Belsartworld. Watch this fun video for a bit of inspiration!

HOW TO SEW A PATCH ONTO A BACKPACK 

(specifically a Goodordering backpack)

1. Make sure that the bag is clean

2. Get your patch and position it where you want to put it. Use a few pins or a couple of safety pins to attach it where you want to put it. Ensure that the position you select allows you to access the inside or other side, it will make it easier to grip if you can access the inside.

3. Get some thread a similar colour to the edge colour of your patch, cut off approximately 20-30cm, thread your strong but thin needle and keep it single, do not double it over, and tie at knot at the end

4. Cut off excess thread after the knot but leave about 1cm after the knot

5. Start by pulling the thread through from behind the patch to hide the first knot.

6. Use a 'whip stitch' to go around the patch. This involves grabbing a bit of the base fabric and then grabbing a bit of the patch and then repeating that.

7. When it comes to the end loop the needle twice around the stitch and then pull, then from under the patch come through to the front of the patch with your needle somewhere further from the edge of the patch, then cut the thread really close to the patch. This will leave some of the thread under the patch.

 TIPS

You might need to use a thimble (or the back of a pair of scissors) to push the needle through the patch, especially if the patch is thick. 

Don't rush it if you haven't done it before.

It is astonishing.

AIPAC ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COx-t-Mk6UA ) and the Evangelical Church are implicated in one of the most devastating genocides in history, targeting innocent women and children in Gaza.

These organizations have provided Israel with explosives to enable their genocidal actions.

Gaza has been declared a disaster zone, severely lacking in vital resources necessary for survival.

AIPAC, the Evangelical Church, and Israel have ravaged 90% of Gaza, leading to the destruction of 437,600 homes and the loss of one million lives, including 50,000 individuals currently trapped under rubble, with 80% of the casualties being women and children.

They have also destroyed 330,000 meters of water pipelines, leaving the population without access to potable water.

Furthermore, over 655,000 meters of underground sewage systems have been devastated, depriving residents of essential sanitation facilities.

The destruction encompasses 2,800,000 meters of roadways, making transportation impossible for the affected population.

Additionally, 3,680 kilometers of the electrical grid have been dismantled, resulting in widespread power outages.

The assault has led to the demolition of 48 hospitals, eliminating crucial healthcare facilities for those in need.

Moreover, the actions of AIPAC, the Evangelical Church, and Israel have disrupted the education of over 785,000 students, with 494 schools and universities being completely destroyed, many as a result of aerial bombardments.

They have also targeted 981 mosques, effectively suppressing the prayers of the homeless who seek divine assistance.

Consequently, over 39,000 young children have been left orphaned, lacking parents or guardians to provide care.

It is important to highlight that the historical context of warfare has never seen a situation where 80% of a nation has been devastated, 100% of its population has been displaced, and 50% of the casualties are children.

Recognizing the seriousness of this situation is imperative.

Organizations such as AIPAC and the Evangelical Church in America are contributing to what can only be characterized as genocide.

The implications of American taxpayer funding in relation to Israel’s actions against innocent children are concerning.

1. A thorough examination of Israel’s precarious circumstances is necessary.

2. The impact of financial influence, often linked to specific groups, significantly affects these dynamics. Additional information can be accessed through the provided link.

The heartbreaking reality of innocent children suffering at the hands of powerful Israeli forces using American weaponry is evident in numerous media reports.

It is essential to remain informed by consulting trustworthy news sources.

It is imperative to take action by expressing your concerns to your government regarding the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. If you are unable to do so, please consider sharing this message along with the provided links with at least four friends, encouraging them to do the same. This will help raise awareness about the situation. It is a tragic irony that those who suffered during the Holocaust are now perceived as contributing to the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Failure to engage in this advocacy may suggest a lack of compassion.

It’s unbelievable

The most devastating genocide in the world is being carried out by AIPAC ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COx-t-Mk6UA ) and the Evangelical Church, which kill innocent women and children in Gaza.

AIPAC and The Evangelical Church (America) provided Israel with TNT (explosives) for their GENOCIDE.

Gaza has been declared a disaster area and lacks essential resources for living in it, as follows.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (America), and Israel destroyed 90% of Gaza, destroying 437,600 homes, and killing one million people, including 50 thousand who are currently under rubble, 80% of whom are women and children.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (America), and Israel destroyed 330,000 meters of water pipes, resulting in people not being able to drink water.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (America), and Israel destroyed more than 655,000 meters of underground sewer lines. Now people have no washrooms to use.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (America), and Israel destroyed 2,800,000 two million eight hundred thousand meters of roads, causing people to have no roads to use.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (America), and Israel have destroyed 3680 km of electric grid, which has caused people to lose electricity.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (America), and Israel destroyed 48 hospitals and leveled them to the ground. Now, no one will have a hospital to save their lives.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (USA), and Israel destroyed over 785,000 students’ ability to attend school and learn. Their actions resulted in the complete destruction of 494 schools and universities, many of which were destroyed by bombing.

AIPAC, The Evangelical Church (America), and Israel destroyed 981 mosques to prevent homless people from asking God for help.

AIPAC and The Evangelical Church (America) have made over 39000 small children orphans and left them without parents or relatives to care for them.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population has been displaced, and 50% of the deaths are children.

Don’t hesitate to call it what it is

AIPAC ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COx-t-Mk6UA ) and The Evangelical Church (America) are creating a GENOCIDE.

It is imperative to take action by expressing your concerns regarding the ongoing situation in Gaza. One way to do this is by publicly urging your government to cease hostilities and provide humanitarian aid to the affected population. If you find yourself unable to take direct action, consider sharing this message along with the relevant links with at least four acquaintances, encouraging them to do the same. This will help raise awareness about the current crisis. It is a tragic irony that those who suffered during the Holocaust are now perceived as contributing to a new tragedy against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

if you do not do this also then you do not have a HART
