patching jeans

[mamamillie]

Hi, mamas,
dp has a favorite pair of jeans he wants me to patch. He is a Virgo, and so very particular about things. The jeans are light; faded, stonewashed, whatever. The only iron on patches I have found are very dark denim and we feel like this is going to look stupid. He just suggested that I ask "the mamas" lol if there is a better way. He thought maybe I can cut a piece from another pair he won't wear and wonders if there is some sort of backing I could buy to turn it into an iron on patch? Is there such a product? Or any other ideas for patching light jeans? thanks, mamas.

never done it myself, but I think you should be able to cut a piece from another pair and use fusable webbing to atach the patch.

yep, I would use the really strong fusible webbing. not the stuff used for collars, button holes, etc.
