This is my first attempt in this kind of project...I am a little nervous but what have I got to lose... (the knee already has a hole, how could I possibly make it worse!!)
Hmm... So... this is my Son's (5yrs) jeans, bought it from H&M a few months ago...
as you can see the hole in the knee... he loves wearing it...so I decided to fix it (inspired by somebody who I forgot her name- found on Little Birdie Secrets blog... I would love to put a link here if I could find the page...)
YOU WILL NEED:
- Scissors
- Black and White thread
- Needle
- Blue Felt (You can use any other colour of your choice)
- White Felt
- Black Felt
- Sewing Pins
First cut the White Felt into 2 oval shape...as shown ( this is for the eyes... )
Then, cut 2 small circles from the Black felt... this is for the eyes
Now, take the Blue felt (this is for the beak of a Duck)... as shown in the picture
 |
| 1,Measure the size of the hole |
 |
| 2, Fold it in half |
 |
| 3, Cut out a round semi circle shape on top...It should look like this |
 |
| 4, Then, sew it all the way around... (you can use sewing machine...I prefer hand stitch because the legs of the jeans was too small. ) |
 |
| 5, Turn it inside out... the side of the stitches should be on the inside. |
 |
| I decided to cut out the bottom part a bit because it was too long (optional) |
 |
| 6, Sew closed the openings... |
 |
| 7, it should look like this... you don't have to worry about the stitches because we're going to hide it later. |
 |
| 8, now position the eyes and beak as shown (you can make it bigger or smaller according to the size of the hole.) |
 |
| 9, Pin down the beak where you want it to be (make sure you put the stitch side at the back and it covers the entire hole) |
 |
| Like this... |
 |
| 10, Hand sew the beak into place... |
 |
| Now, position the eyes exactly where you want it... (I sew the black circles to the white oval using a black thread. ) |
 |
| 11, Pin down the entire eyes... and sew it around using white thread (make sure to cut any leftover thread) |
 |
| VOILA!!! We have a brand new Jeans... Yay!!! Quack, quack...☺ |
