Jeans Salvation

How much is a pair of mens' jeans right now? Branded will be from $300 and up...in Winners I can find a decent one from $59.99...the lousy thinner jeans are about $30-40. If it gets ripped in two washing that is what we paid for and still crazy for it not lasting at least a season. What do I do? Try patching it up. I tell myself if it is man made the I can make it....If they can sew it so can I.This is my first try on patching jean pants. Deep breath and some matching fabrics,thread and scissors with  my  Elna sewing machine ....I did what I can to salvage and make it wearable again. See pics.

I cut off the longer /bigger ripped threads

this is the other side of the seat

Two holes on is much bigger and i cut the biiger one.

I found a couple of pants giveaway in my apt. laundry room
cut up the needed patch and happy that it matches the colour.

This is the longest ripped part

both sides after the sewing

not a pro but i think it's passable.


You can see that the jean patch is inside.

Eddo wearing it....Good eh?
