The "patching" technique of canvas bags creates a unique retro feel.
Sep 05, 2025
Tired of plain canvas tote bags? Want to have a unique style but worried that the craftsmanship is too complicated? Don't worry! The "patching method" shared today is definitely a treasure transformation technique that can be easily mastered even without prior experience, instantly giving your old bag a retro makeover!
The secret lies in "hiding your shortcomings" and "being spontaneous": You don't need to have excellent sewing skills. Hurry up and look through your old clothes, unused fabric samples, or simply order a pack of vintage-style patches online. You can find all kinds of patterns and badges.
Super simple three-step process:
1.Layout Design: First, randomly arrange and combine the patches on the bag to create your favorite layout. The messy and scattered arrangement will give it a more retro and eclectic feel!
2.Easy and reliable: The most user-friendly method for those with poor hand dexterity - use cloth and double-sided tape! Just iron the back of the cloth for a few seconds, and it will stick firmly without the need for needles or thread.
3.Reinforcement (optional): If you're concerned about durability, you can simply sew a small loop along the edge of the patch. The uneven stitching will add a more handmade touch.




Look, a retro bag full of story and personal touch is all ready! It is the perfect finishing touch for your outfit. This weekend, why not give it a try?
