I often find holes wear in my jeans between the legs, so I patch them with fabric on the inside and lots of rows of zig-zag sewing.
It’s not a very visible spot so it does not have to be perfect, but it definitely increases the useable life of the jeans considerably.
Damn, I never thought I’d stumble upon a community about sewing, lol 😂.
That being said, good patchwork 👍. Would reduce the needle punch distance, but it’s not a big problem, this works as well 😊.
I patch my trousers all the time, cuz I have a specific style of trousers I like and they don’t make them any more, so I usually pay someone to sew them. I did sew them myself years ago, but it’s way too time consuming, don’t have the time to do it now.
