Make your own patches

Here I am dealing with holey jeans again.  Before I made skirts, shorts, dresses, etc. Well this time I decided to try to make my own patches.  I had some cute fabric and some Heat n' Bond.   So this is what I did.

 First I ironed on the Heat n Bond to the fabric.  

Then I got one of my cookie cutters and traced around it and cut out the shape.

 Then placed it over the hole

 Then, peeled the backing off the Heat n Bond and ironed it to the pants.

Then, I stitched around the the patch to keep it from peeling off later after washings and wear.  Note:  I seam ripped the side of the pants to make it easier to sew it with the sewing machine.  Then I just sewed the side of the pant leg back up.  Just a little trick I figured out.
So now go and make your own patches and save those pants!  Have a great day and thanks for dropping by today!
