How to patch elbows and knickers..
IT IS EASY TO MEND THE ELBOW OF A TWO SEAM SLEEVE, AS THE WORN PART CAN BE CUT AWAY AND ALL THAT WILL BE SEEN IS THE SEAM AT THE TOP OF THE
NEW SECTION. DO NOT USE NEW MATERIAL, AS IT WILL BE OF A MUCH HEAVIER TEXTURE THAN THE WORN GARMENT. CUT THE BEST PARTS OF OLD GARMENTS AND
KEEP THEM BY YOU FOR FUTURE PATCHING. NEW COATS AND KNICKERS CAN BE STRENGTHENED BEFORE WEARING BY PATCHING NEATLY ON THE WRONG SIDE
