Recommend fabric/patch for fleece (Pata R1) repair?

Hi all, I tried to search for past answers but couldn't find recent relevant stuff.

My R1 hoody's elbows are wearing very thin and developed a few holes.  I typically just sew up little holes in gear but since the surrounding fabric is "thinning" I feel a patch would last longer.  Patagonia says sending in for repair will take many weeks.  I figure any 'ol piece of fabric will do the job but perhaps there's something better.  I've used tenacious tape on "shell material" (jackets, packs) but not fleece nor have I tried to sew it before.  Any tips?  Thanks.
