fabric patch

Sewn-on fix

A fabric patch is a piece of cloth used to cover a hole or worn area in clothing or other textiles: She sewed a patch over the tear in his jeans.

Patches also serve decorative or identifying purposes—sewn onto jackets, bags, or uniforms to display logos, insignia, or designs: a scout's merit badge patches, a motorcycle club patch.
