A place to share ideas, knowledge and creations with textiles. The focus is on reducing waste, whether that be sewing from the scraps left from other projects, using the end of rolls and remnants, or repairing and remaking finished pieces.
I have two trousers with holes in their pockets. My plan is to sew new pockets.
I find that iron-on patches don't tend to stay affixed. They fall off even faster when the cloth flexes repeatedly throughout the day.
I've had good luck hand stitching another piece of cloth to the underside of the garment.
Amazing! Thank you for your reply and advice, much apprecciated.
The advantage of iron-on patches is basically that you don't need glue to keep them affixed while you sew. But you do need to sew.
Another advantage, by the way, is that you don't need to zig-zag stitch the edges of the patch to stop them from fraying when you cut out the shape you want. Saves some effort.
Good to know, thanks for your reply.
They do not last. Personally, just get a cheap sewing kit, and teach yourself. It's not as hard as it looks, just tedious
Looks like I'll be shopping for a sewing kit. Thank you :)
