Sewing on patches tip

My husband is a Cub and Boy Scout leader, so he needed the Cub Scout pack number AND the Boy Scout troop number on his shirt, in the same location. I know not too many people will have this same dilemma, but if you do, I have a wonderful and EASY solution to make this work. And this was actually my brilliant hubby's idea.

VELCRO. The stuff is amazing.

1. Choose which Velcro will best fit the patch(es) you need to sew on. You can get the kind with sticky backs or not. If you get the sticky back, you will still need to tack them down BY HAND, but it is so sticky that you may not have to do it right away. I wanted to stitch with the machine, but I also wanted them to all stay in place while tacking them down, so I chose the sticky.
2. Be sure to take off any price tags or bar codes that do not need to be on the patch, then arrange the Velcro onto the back of it.
3. Tack them down, by hand or by machine, if possible.
4. On the SHIRT, be sure you put the Velcro on OPPOSITE of how you put it on the patch. For example, if you put the teeth part onto the back of the patch, make sure you put the fuzzy part on the shirt. I actually used both on mine, so I just made sure that whatever I put on the top for the patches was on the bottom part of the shirt (see picture below).
5. Be sure to put the set you are not wearing in one of the shirt pockets, so it will always be handy and never get lost.

I tried using the machine, but it didn't work so well. I plan to redo this (and I'll replace the picture), but it will work for tonight!

It really is that easy. I'd been putting this off for so long because I thought it was going to take me forever and be difficult to line them up just right, but WOW, that was easy!

And it looks nice, right?

Sorry, ladies. Man not included. ;)

And here is another tip. Those things on the shoulders called epaulets, my husband had to switch those out too, blue for Cub Scouts and green for Boy Scouts. Again, this was his idea, and it is just so simple.

Just put one inside the other, wrong sides together, and all you need to do is flip them. So you're wearing both sets the whole time. Brilliant.
