Here Comes Sunshine Patch Pattern Playbook

Here Comes Sunshine — Fabric Appliqué Patch Pattern & Playbook

Let the sun shine on your favorite jacket, jeans, or tote bag! This retro sunburst patch is stitched from little scraps of your favorite fabrics, layered into a sunset-over-the-hills scene that's equal parts groovy and sweet.

This isn't just a pattern — it's a full playbook. You'll get the step-by-step appliqué technique using Wonder Under (no raw-edge fraying, no fuss), plus bonus templates so you can customize your patch even further.

What you get:

• 5-page printable PDF — instant download

• Patch pattern piece (print at 100% for a 5" circle — scale up or down to any size you want)

• Step-by-step appliqué instructions with photos, from tracing to the final stitch

• Bonus templates — heart, flowers, lightning bolt, and a full alphabet so you can add a word to your patch

• My favorite sunshine-print fabric recommendations, plus a link to my go-to supplies

Skill level: Beginner friendly! If you can trace, cut, and do a simple stitch (by hand or machine), you can make this. The Wonder Under does most of the hard work for you — no pins fighting you the whole time.

Stitch it onto a jacket, a pair of jeans, a tote bag — anywhere that could use a little sunshine. It also makes a sweet handmade gift.

Please make for personal use only and don't resell the pattern. Thank you for your love and support of my art!
