Repairs & Modifications

Thanks neph93.

Speaking of ugly repairs, I also "repaired" this item. I wasnt planning on posting this one but what the hell… I cut this brand new item while unpacking it... Doh!

Gift for my father. Already lovingly repaired, and full of character I guess.

There you go. In my opinion, you fix the problem first, worry about finesse later [emoji1434]

On another note, the amount of furniture I’ve marked unpacking with scissors and knives is ridiculous [emoji23]

[hairydangler]

Yup. The more I think about it the more I think it needs more work.

Im gonna sew around the tear so it dont fray. Then once more around the edge of the patch.

This will have to do. The back is not pretty but the front looks… Ok.

How about sewing a nice patch over it to cover the repair?

So several months back when I dyed my IH-2526J brown, I also attempted to dye an IHSH-58 hunter green… It turned out an ugly "baby shit" color, and splotchy.

Today, I'm giving it a go to dye it black. Results coming tomorrow.

I had a similar problem when I dyed a shirt red.  A second attempt made for some interesting color variations and looked a lot better overall.  Be interesting to see how this works out.

If this is a bust, I also have some black Japanese sumi ink that will DEFINITELY get the job done

That is a brilliant idea! Thank you!

^ show us what the final result looks like! Will be cool to see which patch does the job for you.

Agreed. Looks like it should. Careful or you’ll start getting orders from other forum members [emoji1]

Thanks again for the excellent suggestion! I am much happier about the repair because of it.

That looks cool. You chose one of my favorite IH patches!

Next customization…

I like that a lot. Watch out for Rangers fans though (that’s Glasgow Rangers).

Stopped off to see Rain at Indigo Proof today!
