Our local seamstress is absolute dynamite with alterations, but I’m beginning to think she’s not the best at repairs. On the other hand, I really have no idea. I recently gave her a pair of my men’s 1930s summer weight slacks, they’re basically of a Palm Beach cloth-like material.
They had about an inch-long rip in one of the legs that came about from dancing. When I got them back from her, she had sewn a patch of fabric behind it and I was pretty disappointed as, at certain angles/lighting, you could see the patch. I thought she was just going to sew the rip shut, but she informed me that she had to do this otherwise the rip would just continue to grow. So here are two pictures showing the work. What do you think? Was this the way to do it?
