Not to long ago. Annagybe had a thread about jeans with patches on it. You could do a high fashion DIY </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-jeans--when-do-you-patch#post-1287662 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:57:06 +0000 Diana 1287662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would patch if the holes are in high-stress areas (like the knee or, in my case, thunder thighs) and have been slowly growing larger each time you wear them.&nbsp; Also consider patching holes that are located in areas where they would be potentially embarrassing should they suddenly decide to expand.&nbsp; I speak from experience, having had a pair of jeans rip 10" up the thigh at a distressing point.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-jeans--when-do-you-patch#post-1287656 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:49:03 +0000 Missey 1287656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many YLF members have purchased heavily distressed jeans this season.&nbsp; I just recently purchased a pair by Blank denim and I love them, however, I wonder how long it will be before I have to do some artful patching from the inside.&nbsp; I believe Anna had purchased a pair this season that were patched from the inside and I've seen many brands that have been doing distressed jeans with patches that look pretty cool.&nbsp; Even a rube like me could manage to sew a few patches ;).&nbsp; When is the question, there is a point of no return where patcjing is involved because there just isn't enough surrounding fabric left to anchor.&nbsp; Sigh.</p> <p>To patch or not to patch, that is the question.&nbsp; Thoughts? </p>
