This was a large tear in the knee of a pair of size 6 boys jeans. Other than that, they are in excellent condition. They no longer fit my son, so I decided to adapt them for my daughter.
Because the hole was large, I decided to patch it from the inside as well as the outside.
(You wouldn't normally need to patch the inside of the leg, but this was a large hole.)
This is an iron-on patch that I bought at Wal-mart. It came in a package of 2 for around $1 or so. This is the shiny or "adhesive" side. (I had already cut a piece from it for a different project, so sorry about that). 
I cut a piece that was slightly larger than the hole in the jeans and then ironed it to the inside of the leg. Just press with your iron for about 30 to 60 seconds on a wool setting with a dry heat. Then allow it to cool for 1 minute.
(Finished iron on patch on inside).
I was able to find some iron-on patches at my local fabric store. They were $3.99 a package and had been marked down to 25 cents each. YES! There were 3 patches in the package.
The large pink one was the right size to cover up the hole in the knee. Again, just press with a dry, hot iron for 30 to 60 seconds. Then wait 1 minute for the patch to cool before you move the garment.
The other 2 patches I just added for design. It is very easy to find girls' pants that have rhinestones or patches decorating one or both legs, so I tried to duplicate that same sort of idea by using the other two patches, so it wouldn't be quite so obvious that I had patched the knee.
Voila! One happy 5 year old with her new "decorations" on her pants. :) Her 8 year old sister was so jealous that she started desperately trying to find pants with a hole in them so she could have "decorated" pants, too. lol
Summary: One pair of pants fixed. One happy kid. Price: 25 cents and about 10 minutes.
(Ok....maybe 50 cents if you count the blue iron-on patch for the inside of the leg-- but even then, I only used a small piece of it and have some leftover......)
That is a wonderful idea! Thanks for the tutorial. I have lots of pants to patch on.
