My DH found a tear in his favorite Kuhl walking shorts. It looked to me like something had snagged the fabric while working or in the wash.
The fabric has stretch going up and down only. I found a piece of cut off hem in a similar weight and stretch pattern and made a little patch.
The wide rows of stitches run in the way the fabric does not stretch, both on the patch and on the ground fabric.
I had thought of patching from the underside, but didn't want the lump of the patch edges to be next to the skin. After sewing the straight lines, I added a small zigzag all the way around for security.
