I like it! (I hope it doesn't rip again near the edge of the patch!)
I also mended a backpack and hemmed jeans for my talented bow-making neighbor today, too. I think I'm going to make a few quilt blocks next. :)

patchwork days
The knee on my son's corduroys ripped. (Pre-distressed cords are a bad idea, really, but they were the only brown pants we could find when we were shopping for Indiana Jones costume components a few months ago.) He requested a red patch. This is my first time doing this kind of patch. I unpicked/seam-ripped the non-topstitched leg seam in order to be able to do this.

did you use a jeans needle to do this?
ReplyDeleteNice job!
ReplyDeleteLoved this. Reminded me of a Similar repair I did on brown cords for my then 8 year old (now nearly 17) I had to lengthen them too for her, so cut each leg horizontally: one below the knee, one above, and added 4" red cord ... That made the repair easier as I had access to the knee!
