Decorative patches

The patch, according to the dictionary - is a piece of fabric sewn over the hole for the purpose of repairing.

But before you decide on such a step and make a patch on the jeans, you need to decide on its type, so that the decor matches the overall style of pants and your image as a whole.

Two-sided

Two patches of the desired shape are cut out, but the second one is slightly larger. The smaller of them is fixed around the hole by any seam from the inside, and the large one is laid out from the outside and fixed by a secret seam.

Vtachnaya

The hole is given the correct shape, its edges are folded and hemmed in. On top, the patch itself is applied and fastened to the fabric with a hidden seam. That is, replace the site with a defect to a new one.

Overhead

Closing a stain or hole, the patch with the edges folded inward is superimposed on the front side. It is sewn with a secret or machine seam.

Padded

A patch made of the same fabric as your item, or vice versa - contrasting, decorative, is padded from inside and is swept to the fabric by frequent offset stitches.

Artistic

To make such patch on jeans is possible not only for the purpose of decorating places with defects, but for strengthening those parts of clothes that are amenable to great friction. For example, the elbows on a jumper or knees on little panties.

What options can there be:

• There are a lot of kinds of ready decorative patches in sewing shops, most of which have hot melt on the wrong side. You can pick up a funny little dog face for a child, a beautiful rose for a girl or a soccer team logo for a man. It only remains to carefully attach the stickers on the jeans and crush it with a hot iron.
• You can make an art patch yourself. To do this, you need to pick up a suitable cloth flap. It should not be very different in type from the material of clothing and be a couple of centimeters wider than the hole. Then cut out the desired element( circle, pocket, star, flower, arrow, pyramid, which tells you fantasy) and process the edges.
