A friend of mine in high school was a stylish exchange student from Munich, and I've always remembered these cool jeans she wore that had fabric patches all down the fronts of the legs. Remembering that, I dug through fabric scraps we have at Storey left over from when we made all the projects in our book Sew & Stow. Once I had selected an orange floral print from Marimekko, I sewed it over the hole.

The problem with fading jeans is that once they start to go, they really start to go. Another tear followed, and then another. I have three patches on the jeans now, but I kind of think the more the merrier.

I've been mending my favorite jeans with denim patches. I like your patches MUCH better!
