Description:
Give your jacket, bag or favourite piece of clothing a bit more personality with our New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) Hang Loose Iron-On Patch.
This embroidered patch features the NZSL Hang Loose hand motif in blue, teal and white, with a wave-inspired design that gives a nod to surf culture and our local Raglan.
Iron it onto jackets, jeans, bags, luggage and other suitable fabrics, use it to cover a small hole or mark, or stitch it on and make it part of your own style.
It’s also a fun way to get NZSL seen out and about. Someone might recognise the sign straight away, while someone else might ask what it means, opening up a conversation about New Zealand Sign Language, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s official languages.

How To Use:
👕 Check that your chosen fabric can safely be ironed. Cotton, denim and canvas are great options.
📍 Place the patch where you want it and cover with a thin cloth.
🔥 Iron over the covered patch, keeping the iron moving as the adhesive heats and bonds to the fabric.
⏱️ Leave it to cool completely so the adhesive can set before wearing or using your item.
🪡 Prefer to sew? You can stitch the patch on instead, or add a few stitches for extra hold.
Care Instructions:
🧼 Follow the washing instructions for the item your patch is attached to.
🌡️ Avoid placing a hot iron directly onto the embroidery.
🪡 If an edge begins to lift with use, stitch it down to keep your patch secure.
Note:
Not every fabric is suitable for iron-on patches. Always check the care label and heat suitability of your item before applying. An adult should handle the iron when applying patches for children.
