Instead of using screen repair patch, why not make it more fun and colorful by stitching the patch like quilting??
I had a window that has screens with holes that I never bothered to fix because it sounded ridiculous to buy whole sheets of screen or repair patch to fix 2 little holes. Which also means I never opened this window because of that!
So now is the time to make changes and make these holes more fun for our home.
Materials:
- Embroidery thread(or any thick thread so it's more visible from far away) with your choice of color.
- Sewing needle
- Patch of mesh(I used leftover patch that I already had while ago)
Process is simple, you just have to place the patch to how ever you like and do zig-zag stitch around the whole square.
Because you're working with mesh it's so much easier to follow the stitch spacing by counting the grid mark. I put 2 gaps in between in each stitch.
Here is Before and After:
*Before shot has 2 holes on the left side that you may not see. I didn't pay attention that I took after shot, the holes are on the right side.
I had never looked forward to have more holes for me to add more patches!
For now, I'll enjoy looking that this quilting patch floating on my window.
