Default patching jeans

Thanks Betty,
Yes Ive done quite a lot of sewing and improvising! I started using wondaweb when my son started school and came home with knees of school trousers ripped, Do all boys do this?
It washes o.k. but eventually if it comes loose its so easy to do that it doesnt matter.

Tip for school trousers and track suit bottoms, especially for cold winter days.

School track suit bottoms seem to be very thin so I line them with another track suit bottom, turn school track suit bottom inside out, slip another track suit bottom over, right side facing out, attach by sewing along waistband and hems turn right side out and voila ! A really warm track suit.
As track suits can be expensive use any old track suit bottom as the liner one.

Also before knees become ripped put a patch behind the knee area it makes them that bit stronger and protects knees.
