Here is a simple and cute mend for a hole in the knee. This happens often to my daughter's pants. I used double fuse squares and ironed on some scrap fabric to the inside of the pants. I then used a needle point circle (there is probably a more accurate name for that but I don't know it :) )
I took some embroidery thread and stitched a simple pattern around it. I just used both small and large "X". Just make sure you go all around the hole. There you have it a quick cute mending project.

Happy Sewing!
I love quick fixes that work for all ages.
ReplyDeleteI'd do this on my recently ripped jeans and I'm (mumble mumble)!

It's called an embroidery hoop, which doesn't sound so different from needlepoint circle when you think about it.
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was little I would do iron on patches before he needed them. I do one inside on his jeans. It really helped because he spent a lot of time on his knees doing stuff.

Thanks Theresa. For the life of me I was having a brain fart at the time I was typing this. Nice to know I wasn't too far off :)
