think it turned out well ! lot easier than i thought just need embroidery floss darning needles embroidery hoops and a patch material (i used jersey from a t shirt i cropped) - hardest part was getting the patch flat and trapped in the embroidery hoop since i don't have pins, probably a good thing to pick up next !

I've got these jeans that have continued to deteriorate since my post in the DIY thread. The butt is starting to wear out and I'm really gonna miss them once they're gone

Cut some tees into strips, sewed those onto some twill I cut out of a different pair of pants, then sewed those into the side seams + stole some waist band from a third pair of pants
