Monday Solutions ~ Patching Those Holes in Jeans

UNDER PATCHES
Sometimes you may want to use an under patch, like when holes develop in the knees of your favorite jeans.
Pick a fun, contrasting fabric that will peek through the holes and a coordinated thread.
Cut a piece of Heat n’ Bond the same size as your fabric patch, leaving a hole in the center that will align with the hole in the jeans.
Pin it directly behind the holes in the knees and iron as directed.
Secret #3: I wanted to make the fabric patch extra strong to ensure it would hold up longer, so I used Heat n’ Bond to attach some sturdy twill to the back of the fabric.
As a final step, I used embroidery floss to make some stars that match the fabric. The hand-sewn stitches aren’t just cute, they also help keep the patch firmly in place
