My pants were wearing thin in the knees, and had one real hole going. Luckily I had some material leftover from making the pillow. The blue material is cotton, I edged the patches and then hand-sewed them on. Reading other's posts, I sewed the patch in the middle in addition to on the edge.
Lastly, I sewed the actual hole up, getting some of the patch material in on the party in the process (on purpose).
- Show your holey fabric, patch, thread, and needle or sewing machine
- Show your patch being sewn onto the fabric
- Show your completed patched fabric
- It doesn't have to be pretty but it does have to be functional. Finish the edges of the patch so it doesn't fray.
