Sewing patches onto lames

[annacattiva]

I just had to resew one side of the patch on the underarm of my lame and Gee! it's a lot easier to do with a thimble! That aside, I just wanted to thank (again) the wonderful armorers at the Denver NAC this past March who lent me needle and thread the first time. The patches are still good and I'm still grateful.

Isn't that fun?? I had to do the same to the sollar of my sabre lame at sectionals a few years back...a major pain...but I know how to do it now!

Heh. Never throw away an old lame, even dead ones usually have good patches that will yield useful scraps.

I have a practice-only lame that looks like a patchwork quilt. :

Oh, Anna. Here I thought that this thread was going to be about people who wanted to wear club patches on their lames.

We did have one kid whose mother thoughtfully put his name on his lame in big beautiful letters. Only problem was that they were iron-on fuzzy letters. Waste of a lame. He never got them off.

However, if his name was spelled out in blue lame material and sewed onto a silver lame, it would not only be legal, but pretty unique!

Ooooo. Ahhhhh.

Sounds like it would be a pain in the *** to do tho...

For the 2000 Junior Worlds, because of the small planes they had, equipment came on another plane. One Fencer had a new lame' that they did not have their name on and would not arrive until after the vendors had closed that night and control was the next morning. We sewed 3 scraps together, had a vendor put the name and USA on the material and that night sewed on the patch.

We have some great parents. Mrs. Cross, Emily's mother was nice enough to do it and I will tell you the Armorers at control were impressed with the work.
