The other day as I was flipping through my
Google Next thing, my daughter happen to walk by at the same time that this post from
Pleated Poppy about Patches popped up - I said "we should do that to your jeans" and she agreed. And it was a snow day and we had nothing going on, so we just did it right then.
It was so quick to just sit down and do it - I should actually accomplish things like this more often! I also should take before pictures - I didn't, but I dug up this from Christmas Eve - sportin' the hole look in a different pair (she's in the middle of the gang):
I let her pick the fabric, cut the shape, color of thread (I didn't have embroidery floss so I just doubled up some thread) and voila - done! Now, on to all the other holes that need repaired....
Patching the holes was really easy - go try it!
