We patched all of his jeans last night. It was awesome. With the new sewing machine. First we iron on the patch (inside the jean bc outside looks LAME-O, and he can't look lame-o in front of the little old Asian ladies at work, can he??) and then we got denim thread (yes, they have that at JoAnn's!) and used this swirly stitch to adhere the patches better (bc let's be honest...iron-on doesn't really stay.) You can hardly tell they were ever mended. DAd - are you so glad you raised such a thrifty, self-reliant daughter?? I am :) Wait. I shouldn't have asked that because you'll probably come back with, "Well, instead of buying him the stylish 40 dollar Levi's, you should buy him the $15 Kirkland jeans and then we'll talk." Haha.
Maybe I should just have him get some of these:
Or THESE, honey. More stylish and they definitely fit over jeans, albeit skinny ones :)
Save your knees and your jeans all at one fell swoop!
