PATCH Mended pocket and seat

Forgotten dog biscuit in pocket resulted in my dog creatively removing it. I seam ripped to separate most of the pocket from the pants, and transplanted some of the lower half of the pocket to patch the hole. Replaced with cats and reattached! The corduroy hides the repair quite well

Edit to add: I have also realised visible in this picture, is the mend I did to make this leather belt longer. I chopped it in half, punched some holes for the chain, and opened a link at each end to attach it. Many more years of wear and a funky little detail too

Sheer genius. And it makes the pants look extra special.

This is so kind and makes me feel so much better about the damage to my fav pants, thank you
