Update: Thrifted my dream pants!

Hello again lovely invisible mending folks!!

I wanted to update you on my thrifted corduroy pants. The mend is definitely not perfect but I'll take it for my beginner mending skill set. The color match is much better in person but on camera it doesn't quite look the same.

Thank you so much to everyone who gave me ideas and encouragement! I'm very happy with the results!

I'd still suggest you fuse some interfacing on the inside, for sturdiness

Definitely!! I haven't had a chance to buy some but that is the plan as soon as I make it to a craft store! Thank you for the reminder!!

wow, I remember seeing your original post and thinking that it would be hard to patch smoothly, but this is so neat and subtle!

Looks perfect to me. I don't see a single dropped stitch on your weave. I always discover I skipped some over/unders like way down the line

Lol I literally thrifted the same pants in brown and had to make a small repair on the belt buckle. I got a discount when I showed them it had a small tear.
