Does it matter if it (the patch), shows through the tear?
What color thread would be best? What weight?
And how much effort am I willing to put in
to secure the disintegrating waistband stitching?
1. Inside
2. Nope
3. Brown
4. The thread I have:
Güttermann cotton thread and brown pearl cotton (leftovers from making the pants)
5. Yes
6. Restitch but don't bother removing the old green hand spun silk that clearly didn't hold up.
