Sewing - a repair on a denim bag

 

I did a repair on a denim bag that we received in our fabric donations a few weeks ago.  It was headed to the second hand store but I thought it was more likely to be offered for sale if it has not damaged.  

You can see that there was a tear on the top edge of the bag so I added a denim scrap and stitched it in place to repair the tear.  It did not look elegant so I found a tag in my stash that had woven edges and would fit to cover the repair.  I stitched it over the repair and now it looks much better.  Understandably it is not perfect but it does look neat.  On hindsight a little fabric collage would have been more designer!!  Next time!!  Therese
