A couple of weeks ago, Makinley brought me a pair of her jeans that had a hole in the knee. I thought it was about time to try my hand at making patches. A friend of mine made some really cute flower patches for her daughter's jeans. They were way cute. So on Makinley's I made a star.
Then Kennidy brought me some of her holey jeans yesterday and asked, 'Can you make a star patch for me?' There was only one problem. Her hole was twice the size of Makinley's. So I got out my scrapbook patterns and found a cute 'Lazy Susan' flower. I copied it large enough to fit over the hole and then found some scrap fabric. Jenni let me borrow some really pink thread and this is how it turned out. I love it. And so does Kennidy.
I thought briefly about putting a stem all the way to the bottom so there would be no mistake about what it was but decided against it. Then Kennidy said, 'It looks like a really funky space ship!' Whatever.

Brilliant. And what do you do on your boys jeans. I need ideas because we are abundant with holes around here. For some reason always the left knee. Bizarre.
What a cute idea!!!
