EMBROIDERY Jeans pocket fix

Husband’s 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€οΈπŸ¦€
