creative mending

When I found a small hole in the front pocket of my favourite coat, I didn't like it at all. Instead of just sewing it I searched the internet for some more creative ideas.
 I found this post about a usefull book and an idea for darning a sofa

The second one is post of my favorite artist  Karen Barbé  who has a tutorial about making handwoven 
patches

Karen also shows in another post how she saved her favorite dress.


And that is what I made at last to my pocket!

Now my coat has its own personality!
