Th...Hello, thank you for sharing your tips with us. The end result looks very neat! On the other hand, you could make the repair a feature, apply a patch of fabric over the tear and/or use thicker contrasting thread (like perle thread) to work big stitches. You may want to check out "boro" and "sashiko" mending pictures.Beatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178529201839020386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-68606361971891721652017-06-05T06:04:51.638+10:002017-06-05T06:04:51.638+10:00The patch areas look really nice!

Putting a sleeve or jeans leg over the free arm to work on is a headache. Mine wouldn't care what the work clothes look like - they'd be more concerned that the hole was fixed so it wouldn't catch on machinery or steel bars, and rip further :D I do the jeans repairs the same way as you've done the sleeve in this tutorial, but I don't know that I would take on a hole that big! <br /><br />Oh - I just remembered - I've done some stuffy doctoring for my sweet little neighbour kids over the years - apparently I can't resist a cute face or puppy dog eyes either! :)Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-3689136402454788952017-05-25T08:40:59.989+10:002017-05-25T08:40:59.989+10:00I think using the brown patch has value visually a...I think using the brown patch has value visually as this is a tutorial whilst still being an appropriate choice.... so, well done! <br />Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013819438348033503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-83310259965486411982017-05-25T06:00:45.446+10:002017-05-25T06:00:45.446+10:00Excellent job, Pam!
