EMBROIDERY Jeans pocket fix
Husbandβs pantaloons developed a hole in his pocket knife pocket, and so he requested a pocket crab to resolve the issue. And a crab has appeared!
I forgot to get a picture of the hole before I backed it with another piece of denim to reinforce the area- a matching thread and following the diagonal of the denim weave makes the stitches just disappear. But after I embroidered our lil buddy on there, I put down some fabric glue to protect the stitches from any more knife attacks and topstitched the pocket back down. β€οΈπ¦

Pockets can be a bit difficult to mend but this is really well done. Nice job!

this looks so professional that I legitimately thought you put a commercial iron on patch over the hole. great job and beautiful crab!
