old jeans with holes in the knees

[mummypig]

My jeans always wear out in the knees before anywhere else. If you also have this problem, what do you do with them? (There's only so many pairs of cut-off jeans shorts I can have, and I don't really think they suit me anyway. )

Patch them? I do if I like the jeans. Cut out a patch of denim from another old pair. Copydex it to the inside, neaten hole with scissors. Easy. I do it with all DS's trousers too as he wears his out in horribly quick time..

I am currently wearing a pair of jeans with a hole in the knee - can't bring myself to get rid yet, and they ripped as a result of a fall so they aren't 'worn out' yet either.

I am in denial about being too old to wear ripped jeans I expect

I think I am probably too old for ripped jeans too, but I usually wear them for a while as I hardly ever get round to buying myself new clothes.

I will try patching them, thanks for the tip smee.

oops forgot to name change but thank you

You could do this with them -
