I didn't put any on the inside as I could feel them when I tried, the pants aren't tight I'm just really particular about the feel of what touches my skin.

These pants have basically been a learning platform for patching things lol

I hadn't done any patches before this pair of pants and at this point I'm getting pretty quick and good at it. There's some seams that I can still stitch up (somehow, I'll figure it out) but they're improving.

I def struggled with picking a fabric for it and I had a few starry ones to pick from too, and after stitching the first patch on I'm happy I picked this one for these pants.

NGL it wasn't an easy place to patch for sure

Basically had to modify my embroidery ring (longer bolt) to be able to crank it down enough to hold them tight enough to force the needle through the seams.

It was a fun challenge to tackle, I highly recommend it over tossing a pair of jeans

Thank you!

They were quite fun to patch as well, it's super chill just sitting and stitching while listening to an audiobook

Adding more patches just for the aesthetic is something I'm thinking about doing

Of course using a bunch of different looking fabric that has the same theme though

I’ve found sashiko-style stitching on and maybe an inch around the patches to work really well in strengthening the patch and surrounding fabric to make that less likely.

Patches on the inside change enough of the fabric feel that I can feel where they are while wearing them, I'm probably going to go with a shashiko type thing though on the patches to secure them fully and ensure the holes I'm covering are solidly anchored in place to prevent catching.

Currently though I'm not getting caught on the holes from the inside but the holes for these ones were much smaller than one of my other pair of pants that need some serious patching.

Nah just some generic star field fabric, though some starry night fabric would be awesome

I didn't know about that community, I'm gonna have to follow it for sure

Different strokes for different folks

They're quite comfy though, and those patches breathe really well (partly why I didn't use denim for the patch material)
