Do you put off mending because of the time involved? There's no solution quicker than these patches, which you can stick on damaged puffer jackets, tents, raincoats, umbrellas and other outdoor gear. No stitching or ironing required!

True story: originally I tried to stock a well known brand of repair tape in this shop, but said brand will only supply its black and clear options (not its colours) to Australia. How very dare they!

These patches are a cheaper alternative and each set comes in four colours, so you can have a bit of fun with your mending (or, statistically speaking, more chance of secrecy when invisible mending).

Each pack contains four patches: one of each in white, black, red and blue, measuring 17.78 x 7.62mm. (The packaging says ‘navy’ but it’s definitely closer to royal blue, not navy.)

To use: Cut patch slightly larger than the area to be mended. Round corners if using on a garment. Press firmly with your hand.

Made in China and packaged in clear plastic with a cardstock insert by the manufacturer.

Slow mode

This shop is in slow mode so I can enjoy a better work-life integration as a shop owner and mum of two tiny tots. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

I'm currently dispatching orders once a week; place your order by 5pm Thursday Melbourne time (AEDT/AEST) for dispatch the next day (Friday).

Australia Post has been experiencing significant delays. If you select Express Post at checkout, it will speed up Australia Post's delivery timeframe but won't speed up my process.

After your order has been packed, you will receive an email notification with your Australia Post tracking number, which you can use to check on the delivery status of your order.

Local delivery

Customers in Northcote, Thornbury and nearby suburbs (subject to capacity) can select local delivery at checkout. Local delivery is extra-slow and coincides with my pram-walking/kid-wrangling schedule, up to one week after purchase. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
