Elbow patches

What I did:

Before

My client had several plaid shirts, all with rips near the elbows.

I forgot to take "before" photos of every shirt, but here's one. If you look closely, you can see some loose threads on the left sleeve; that's where one of the rips was.

After

I patched each shirt with obround shaped elbow patches in a brown fabric. The model in the pictures below is my husband, who conveniently wears the same shirt size as my client.
