I wonder why it is mostly the thigh area that gets holey on our jeans and makes us want to throw them out. I have never really had the courage to patch mine, instead just recycled it to some other use. For your first time engaging in needlework, I think it looks perfect. On the bright side, you've got two new pairs of shorts for the summer.

they're not visible unless someone looks very hard.... that would be very rude!!!!!

This part got me laughing, they wouldn't dare!
