Comment on YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment
DharmaCurious@startrek.website 6 days agoIron on patches are your friend for areas like this. Curved needles as someone else suggested also work.
But because I hate my hands, I almost always just unstitch the pocket and lining, sew the patches on, and then reconstruct the pocket and lining. Probably don’t do this, I get hyper fixated on projects and do things the long way round.

These all are iron on, actually. The glue was because the adhesive that was on most of them sucked. The Trash Club patch was great; but it’s been 5 years and it’s starting to peel.

Yeah, you’re pretty out of option for an older iron on patch. Curved needles are your best bet if you’re comfortable using them. I hate using them personally, another reason I’ll unstitch and hand sew it back together. I’ve got a machine to do some of the heavy lifting, though
