Iron on patches just went from hobo to hip

But then I remember that 1) I have no time, 2) I don't sew. Oops.

Thank goodness for the adorable iron-on patches from rikrak, little birdies which come in so many hip vintage patterns, they even pass muster with my tween. Not feeling the birds? No problem-- you can also choose from letters, numbers and shapes. You don't have to wait for a hole; just have fun spiffing up the kids' clothes. They'll think you're a genius, and it'll be a secret between you, me and your iron. -Mir
