Everyone needs to learn how to sew in a patch...everyone. And there are a couple looks and ways to do it. I bought these pants on purpose with holes in them and after a bit of use the hole got big enough that I was beginning to worry about it ripping really wide. Because I still like the hole's look and being there, I slapped on a quick patch that keeps the look of the hole, and eliminates what was going on underneath and the possibility of tearing wider. The is super quick and easy, you can't go wrong.
top/pants: hm // jacket: f21 (
similar)// shoes:
sam edelman
Supplies:
piece of jean that is similar to the color and stretch to the jean being patched. I used what was left over after hemming.
pins
matching thread and sewing machine OR just a needle
scissors
Instructions:
1. Slide the piece of jean into your pants, centering it around the patch. Pin a lot of the extra material of the jean piece down, so one of the ends of the jean piece doesn't flip into your work as you are sewing.
2. Sew around the hole with matching thread with your sewing machine (leave needle in down position and do a lot of pivoting around the hole). OR by hand use a needle and thread and make tighter stitches around the hole.
3. Flip inside out and cut of the remaining!
