Shooting Star Iron on Patch

A little streak of colour with a very cheerful star at the front.

This iron-on patch features a smiling turquoise star trailing a rainbow tail behind it, like a tiny shooting star caught mid-flight. Bright thread and metallic stitching give the rainbow a subtle shimmer, while the star’s simple embroidered face keeps the whole design playful and light.

The colours are vivid without being harsh — turquoise, pink, gold and green layered into a small flash of movement that stands out beautifully against denim, canvas or cotton. It’s the sort of detail that works just as well on a backpack or pencil case as it does on the sleeve of a jacket.

Once applied, the embroidery sits neatly on the fabric with a slightly raised stitched texture that feels solid and durable rather than flimsy. A quick way to customise something plain, cover a worn spot, or add a small burst of personality to everyday pieces.

Designed by Petra Boase and presented on a star-printed backing card, it also makes a sweet little add-on gift. Small, bright, and impossible not to smile at.
