Ironing on an embroidery patch is at the low end of the ingenuity spectrum, but it is still a way to give new life to something damaged, or just
something you're tired of wearing. So I guess it
still counts as a refashion!
Here are two things I recently freshened up with some iron-on patches.
A
pair of jeans which I didn't much care for became a lot more exciting
once I ironed on a pretty blue spray of flowers. (Sorry, I didn't photograph this process, but I bet you can guess what they looked like before!)
My
old combat boots were destined for the trash until I realized I could
cover up some of the scuffs and make them trendy at the same time by
adding some rose embroidery. I couldn't iron those patches on, so I used
Tacky Glue. Tacky Glue is not waterproof, so I figure it will be easy
to remove the patches and replace them with something else, if they get
dirty or I get bored.

Here's a little blog post about how I decorated the boots.

cute.... but to be honest, I used to be in the military... first thing I thought of when you said they were scuffed up... was shoe polish!
The flowers did come out cute though.
