Here is how I hacked my hoodie’s back pocket to make elbow patches.
1. I sewed up bigger holes with poly-blend thread. Ideally you want to use the same material, but there is no merino thread. Now that I have made many repairs on my Icebreaker clothing with a poly-blend thread, I know that I will switch to straight cotton. Cotton has a little more give and flexibility.
2. I carefully cut out the extra fabric from the back pocket of the hoodie.
3. I lined up the DIY patches over the elbow repair area and pinned it in place.
4. I sewed everything up, by hand, with tiny stitches.
