Pin of the Week Dec 2-9

This is a cute idea, on the site it's actually in Dutch so if you have Chrome it can translate it for you if you have a translator set up.  But I'm going to go ahead and paste the whole tutorial here for you.
Now my fiancee, I swear has at least 1 hole in EVERY pair of jeans!  So as a joke I want to do this on all his jeans...(lol)
You can always check the site out yourself at: http://bymiek.blogspot.com/2010/10/dhz-monster-knie.html

DIY: Monster Knee

If you do a crack in pants must fix, make it something beautiful! As a sample:
You will need:
• Bit dust
Vlieseline •
White • Felt
• Black embroidery thread & needle
• If necessary sewing machine

Step 1:
Iron the fusible interfacing on the back of your piece of fabric and cut the fabric then in an oval. Make sure the fabric about 3 cm wider and higher than the crack.
Cut a piece of felt in the shape of teeth, take a seam value 'of 1 cm at the top. The width must be equal to the tear.

Step 2:
Sew the teeth at the top of your piece of fabric, right along the edge (also by hand, I did it with the sewing machine).

Step 3:
Place the fabric with teeth behind the crack, so that the dust everywhere over an inch wider than the crack.
Sew with the embroidery thread around with a basting stitch (----), about 1/2 inch of the crack.
If you're around, then sew again around the openings between the stabbing also to fill (-----).

Step 4:
Cut two circles for the eyes from the white felt. Sew with the embroidery thread, such as this:

Ready!
