Distressed jeans are a hot look. But falling apart jeans are NOT. Nancy Minsky, author of Denim Revolution: Dozens of Ways to Turn Denim Cast-Offs into Fashion Must-Haves, shares her “cat and mouse” technique for patching a pair of jeans. With this technique, your repair work is blended in with the naturally worn look of the denim. Get the tutorial at her blog, 21st Century Dressmakers.
