I didn’t put any on the inside as I could feel them when I tried, the pants aren’t tight I’m just really particular about the feel of what touches my skin.
These pants have basically been a learning platform for patching things lol
I hadn’t done any patches before this pair of pants and at this point I’m getting pretty quick and good at it. There’s some seams that I can still stitch up (somehow, I’ll figure it out) but they’re improving.
I tried before on these pants but due to the tightness of the areas I could feel them while going about my day so I went for exterior patches.
I didn’t know about that community, I’m gonna have to follow it for sure
You could try darning or adding a patch to the upper part of your shoes
Personally I avoid shoe goo whenever possible, it never seems to hold very long
Patches on the inside change enough of the fabric feel that I can feel where they are while wearing them, I’m probably going to go with a shashiko type thing though on the patches to secure them fully and ensure the holes I’m covering are solidly anchored in place to prevent catching.
Currently though I’m not getting caught on the holes from the inside but the holes for these ones were much smaller than one of my other pair of pants that need some serious patching.
Adding more patches just for the aesthetic is something I’m thinking about doing
Of course using a bunch of different looking fabric that has the same theme though
It captures them a shitton of data that they very likely sell or use to get advertisers on board.
Nah just some generic star field fabric, though some starry night fabric would be awesome
I def struggled with picking a fabric for it and I had a few starry ones to pick from too, and after stitching the first patch on I’m happy I picked this one for these pants.
NGL it wasn’t an easy place to patch for sure
Basically had to modify my embroidery ring (longer bolt) to be able to crank it down enough to hold them tight enough to force the needle through the seams.
It was a fun challenge to tackle, I highly recommend it over tossing a pair of jeans
Thank you!
They were quite fun to patch as well, it’s super chill just sitting and stitching while listening to an audiobook
Different strokes for different folks
They’re quite comfy though, and those patches breathe really well (partly why I didn’t use denim for the patch material)
I’ve gotten fairly skilled at mending my own cloths as of late. And fixing my shoes.
By “skilled” I mean I can keep my junk from flapping in the breeze, which IMO is good enough.
It’s getting rough out there, and I can’t afford to buy that shit now. Thread is cheap, sewing needles are cheap, and extra fabric is easy AF to come by.
The Ultra Wealthy basically.
I need to get my flag pole situated on my car so I can hang a 3x5 flag off the back.
I ain’t going quietly into that good night goddamnit
EDIT: I’m planning to hang a pride flag for those curious. Maybe a “FDT” flag if I’m feeling really spicy.
That’s a Based AF bumper sticker right there
Fears over my lack of PTO to be able to party that day.
He’s probably been having them for years
Once you have one they become more and more common, and the common they are they more likely you are to hit a serious (life ending) one.
Heck yeah that’s the spirit!
Give it a shot, worst case scenario they’re not gonna be worse off
