Einleitung
This repair guide demonstrates how to not only fix a hole in jeans but also make the hole less prominent. Patching a hole in the pocket is easy but sometimes the color of the patch doesn’t match the jeans, making it look awkward. Creating a design on the backside of the jeans will repurpose jeans that were not going to be worn. This will ultimately reduce waste because it allows us to repurpose a pair of jeans that would have been discarded.
