Cute Knee Patch

The boy ALWAYS gets holes in the knees of his jeans. I am pretty sure it is required when you are a boy. Lou La on the other hand has never had a whole in her jeans. Not even the pair that used to be The Boys but that he grew out of BEFORE he accomplished wearing out the knees.

But I might just cut the knees out of a pair of her jeans so that I can do this:

I found this idea on Koala Brains. She calls it a cut out applique, but I just call it the stinking cutest knee patch ever!!

If there were only a way to make this suitable for boys!!!

This is so much prettier than the patches my mom used to put on our jeans! She was all about function over form :).

Gonna put this to use on some little girl's pants this week for sure!

Thanks! :)

I love to reverse applique, but had never thought to use it as a patch! Fabulous!

I would just do a square with some robot or rocket fabric for boys.

Such a cute idea!!!!

I think a cute circle with blue or red stripe fabric would be cute for boys. I am so there, i have the same problem with my boys. Or even a boyish star. We could come up with something!

I amke applique patches for my kids jeans... they are too expensive and they wear them out way too fast.... this is a really cute idea....

A soccer ball patch maybe, or brown cord. material in a jean pair?? I love the girl idea, with three of them they do manage to wear out the knees as they pass them down so I will have to give this a try :)

Thanks for the post! I am looking for some ideas. I just bought some fabulous jeans but the worn look turned into an open gaping hole over my knee that I don't care for! Not sure if I want a pink heart though, but it is leading in the right direction.
I also have a pair of straight across knee ripped jeans of my son's that I need to fix up somehow.
Thanks for inspiring!

What a cute idea! Yes much better than the patches I just put all over Weezy's jeans!

Cute! Elaina has two pair right now that have a hole in the knee, I couldn't bring myself to throw them away even though she doesn't wear them. Now she will.

My oldest son puts holes in his jeans sometimes only after one wearing...I had actually never thought to patch. Hmmm...maybe I will have to try it and see how it looks.
