A few months ago I had just finished making a bib with a bird applique on it, when Heidi walked in with a hole in the knee of her jeans. I thought "hmmmm, why not?" The horizontal length of the bird covers the rip quite nicely.Last week Hailey needed a patch on her jeans too. She wanted a bird that was more nuetral, so this is what I came up with.
I use fusible iron-on backing to adhere the patch to the pants. This keeps the pieces from slipping around while you zigzag the edges.

Very, very cute!!!
how do you get the patch sewed on without taking out a seam? I have never been able to patch pants.
Love it!
Mandy, I use don't use the table part when I'm sewing- just the skinny arm part. When you're here for Christmas I can show you if you'd like....
I just patched some pants. They looked horrible. I just wanted to shield Ethan's knees from the winter wind. I wish I was as creative as you.
Though Ethan might not have liked it.
