Best way to patch a child's jeans - holes in the knees?
Answer:
There is " Fabric Glue" available in craft section of department stores or craft supply stores or catalogs!
I would suggest using it and a piece of thick flannel material and here is the best part...Patch the knees on the inside of the jeans not the outside. ( turn the jeans inside out and apply the fabice glue according to instructions. then just quickly sew around the edges for a little extra hold.)

You could take them to a dry cleaner that does patches and alterations and see what they can do.
Personally I hate the look of patched jeans. What about getting her leggings of some kind to wear under her jeans? Keeps the cold out and you don't have to worry about the holes.
iron ons are the simplest
You can buy iron on patches---and they really aren't that stiff after they are washed and broken in
Ask her if she wants it noticeable, because it would look cool if you put a different fabric on it. Her favortie color. Ask her.
If not, I would take a piece of fabric, sturdy, of course, and sew it onto where the whole is.
Like I said, you can make it unnoticable, or start a new style.
In the old days they had "iron on patches" which seemed to work sometimes. Maybe they've made them better now.

maybe for a few of them u could buy a cute scrape of fabric and sew them on ( even if it looks bad it is a really cut fashion trend and it keeps the cold away from her legs. u wouldn't want to do that for all of them though, so go shopping , it's after x-mas so there are a lot of sales STOCK UP! Hey that is what i do and i am 14. LOL ! Good Luck!
The answers you've already gotten seem suffiecent. I just thought I would offer a tip.
My 7 year old is really tough on his jeans too. It's unreal to me! When I buy him new jeans, I use the iron on patch on the inside of the knees! It keeps them sturdier, longer, and you can't tell from the outside at all! The patches are about $1.50 for two. Money well spent when you're trying to make a $25 dollar pair of pants last longer than a couple weeks.
Hope this helps out a bit! Happy New Year!
buy some patches at wal-mart or something.
get some cute but sturdy iron ons like teddy bears soccer balls etc patches and iron on the outside of the knee and reinforce with a nice flat iron on patch for the inside of the knee you can choose the patch wether its hard or soft type
Sewing cheat- fabric paint.
Cut the patch (any fabric scrap, pretty much) into a cute shape, pin it to the jeans, and outline it thickly (so the paint goes on both the jeans and fabric, but still looks like a relatively neat line) with a pretty color fabric paint- WalMart sells this stuff for like 88 cents a bottle. Let it dry overnight.
After several wearings, you may have to touch this up- but it's easier than sewing and heck, a 5yo isn't gonna be wearing the same size jeans long anyway.
Find a fun patch and sew it on. Sew a few of them on in diferent places. You can find iron on ones too.
