Good luck Soot Sprite inspired by My Neighbor Totoro Embroidered Decorative Iron On Patch

Machine Embroidered Soot Sprite Patches! After watching the movie My Neighbor Totoro my son became mildly obsessed with the soot sprite characters. I looked up the meaning of these magical creatures and they can be thought of little good luck charms or creatures that keep you safe or warn you of danger. seeing as they will drive off mean spirited people, I though how perfect too attach them to clothing or bags to remind you that someone’s always looking out for you.

Patch dimensions:
Patch A: 1.75”wide x 1.75” tall
Patch B: 1.5” wide x 1.5” tall
Patch C: 1.5” wide x 1.25” tall
Please note that these are hand-cut so there may be some very small differences in sizes.

I created these patches with a few things in mind... personalization is fun, I drip things on my clothing all the time and my kiddo gets holes in his clothes before he's done with wearing them. I like to use these to decorate and personalize my belongings and I also use them on holes or stains to get additional wear out of favorite items. Tested successfully on my 7 year olds clothing :)

This patch was created from one of my own personal illustrations and then stitched with my embroidery machine. High quality embroidery thread is used and a thin layer of iron on material is already attached to the back of the patch for quick and easy use (do not remove the shiny backing off the patch - this is the iron on material). Patch is made of polyester felt.

Instructions for Iron on:
Set iron to heat setting appropriate for your clothing material (as hot as your fabric allows)
Cover patch and ironing board with a piece of thin scrap fabric (Rag, paper towel etc)
Press iron completely over the patch and press for about 5 seconds (depending on your heat setting).
Allow to cool ** This step is very important to insure adhesive has appropriate time to adhere to your item.**
Warning : Holding the iron on your patch too long can overheat the adhesive! Please insure you hold no longer than 10 seconds - please adjust accordingly depending on your fabrics care instructions (example - if you are trying to apply your patch to an item of clothing that says it should not be ironed - do not apply a patch since the application process - your iron - might damage your article of clothing).

Washing instructions:
Use warm or cold water and medium or low dryer settings. Frequent exposure to hot/high temperatures may affect the iron on material over time.
