jean shortening & patching
I used cutoffs from another pair of jeans to add a neat detail to the bottom of these jeans. The knee also gave out after doing a lot of yard work this spring, so I added a hemmed patch there as well.

Almost 2 years later, I've added larger patches to the knees, as well as two rump patches . The rump patches also extend down the leg to reinforce the inner seams that have worn down significantly. These jeans continue to live on!
