Mick’s favourite Trader Jeans have not been available for many years and we are down to the last pair.
The trendy holes in the knees where getting a little too large to pass off as a fashion statement, so work commenced.
The first try was using the weaving technique. Applying denim to the back and darn it to the jeans using the sewing machine. Sewing machines and the legs of jeans are not too compatible and it is an effort to make progress.
One week later the whole was back!!!
Take 2 – A patch, over the whole thing, using zip zag stitch.
Only another few days and this also failed.
At which point I threw in the towel.
Until Ruth came up with the genius idea of unpicking the side seams and applying much larger patches over the whole knee. This method is also much easier to sew.
They are currently holding fast.…..
