Hubs wore the spot just above his knee clean thru. I used a pair of old denim shorts in a similar color and denim thread to patch them up.

I made the patch oversized because of how thin the remaining fabric is.

I had about 20 pins holding the patch exactly where I wanted it but forgot to take a photo until I was nearly done sewing!

In this project, you will sew a patch onto one of the following:
  - an elbow of a shirt
  - the knee of pants
  - a quilt
  - tote bag
  - other woven fabric

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 2 min):
  -  Show your holey fabric, patch, thread, and needle or sewing machine
  -  Show your patch being sewn onto the fabric
  -  Show your completed patched fabric
  -  It doesn't have to be pretty but it does have to be functional.  Finish the edges of the patch so it doesn't fray.

Clarifications:
  - All textile badge bits require natural fabrics and threads, such as cotton, wool, silk, linen/flax, and nettle. Synthetic materials are not allowed, even if they are recycled or repurposed.

Articles to help:
 - how to sew a patch
 - different ways to sew a patch
 - sewing a patch, messy but quick

Note: Not enough photos, need a before, and during photo as well as one showing all materials.  It appears you a repeating this BB a few times.  Slow down, it takes less time.

My pants were wearing thin in the knees, and had one real hole going. Luckily I had some material leftover from making the pillow. The blue material is cotton, I edged the patches and then hand-sewed them on. Reading other's posts, I sewed the patch in the middle in addition to on the edge.

Lastly, I sewed the actual hole up, getting some of the patch material in on the party in the process (on purpose).

 -  Show your holey fabric, patch, thread, and needle or sewing machine
 -  Show your patch being sewn onto the fabric
 -  Show your completed patched fabric
 -  It doesn't have to be pretty but it does have to be functional.  Finish the edges of the patch so it doesn't fray.

Note: Nicely done - fabric that has "thinned" needs the extra stitching and the large patch or it will just blow through another spot!

Note: Looks like the process is solid, but we gotta know what fabric you are using.  Tell us about the natural fiber fabric you used and it should be able to be approved easy peasy.
