Thanks so much for sharing! Just patched a few pairs of my son’s jeans last night and they look great! Worked perfectly for me!

Back pockets make for good patches btw.

Camilla, you might not have used the right kind of glue. The stuff I used is called “OK to Wash It”, and it really is washable!! You do have to follow the directions on the bottle and let it cure, but after that, you would just wash them as you normally would! I’ve washed my boys’ jeans tons of times and the patches have all held up without having to be re-glued. Sorry you had a bad experience, but it could have been the glue you used!

Are you sure you used the right glue? The “mess” is actually determined by the amount of glue you use. If you gob it on, then, yeah. It’s messy. But, if you apply a small amount at a time, then it isn’t very messy at all!

Thank you so much! This patching method worked so well, was so easy, and looks very cool. I have sewn up jean holes, put iron on patche on jean holes, but this is by far the very best method!

Hi Jess! I have never had a patch come off! I’d say that they last for a LONG time!
