DIY Denim: Patching Inner Thigh Holes

Inner thigh holes are the bane of my existence. Seriously. It is the only spot that I ever wear through my jeans, which doubly stinks because then you can't turn them into shorts. After shortening these jeans, I decided to give patching the inner thigh holes a try. You guys, its so easy! I'll never toss a pair of jeans for inner thigh holes again.

DIY Denim Do-Over: shorten jeans while keeping the original hem

I'm pretty tough on my denim. I buy one or two pairs, then wear them constantly until they are in shreds, then replace. Over the years, I've tried out lots of different brands; now, I only buy through Madewell. As you may know, they cost a pretty penny (I usually wait for them to go on sale, then snatch them up), but the cost is well worth it because they last a long time, even with my constant wear and tear.

After two years of wear, one of my pairs started wearing through on the inner thigh. Since I just started working again, I'm not really in the market to buy another pair. As I was looking them over, I realized that they were still in pretty good shape, except for the hole. So, a DIY project was born. I'm going to do-over my denim. I'll be posting each project I do on my way to truly fixing my jeans.
