The Frugal Girl

Kristen, I have a sewing question. I was planning to cut a patch from a ripped pair of no longer worn jeans and then hand sew it from the inside out. I don’t know how to use a sewing machine so hand sewing it is. Hospital time is where I’m going to seriously gain skills. I want to repair a pair of jeans.

I used yellow thread and sewed over the existing yellow stitching…so the patch is securely in place, but my stitching is basically invisible. I still need to sew down those frayed parts a bit, and secure the belt loop better, and then I’ll be done with this fix. What frugal things have you been up to?
