Snowman Iron-On Embroidered Felt Patch

A snowman who appears to have seen a few Christmases.

This embroidered Petra Boase patch has a slightly wonky snowman with coal buttons, carrot nose and a gloriously bright orange scarf. He’s festive, obviously, but not so polished that he looks like he belongs on a matching family Christmas jumper. Much better.

The mix of soft white fabric and shiny embroidery gives him plenty of texture, while the black stitched face has just the right amount of character. Iron him onto a denim jacket, sweatshirt, tote bag, stocking or whatever else could do with a temporary festive promotion.

It’s an easy way to add a bit of Christmas without committing your entire wardrobe to December, and a very good little stocking filler for children, teenagers or adults who still appreciate a snowman.

Come January, you can decide whether he gets packed away with the decorations or earns the right to stay.
