[ID: a rip in a pair of jeans that has been patched with a black sock with a print of a dinosaur on it. The dinosaur is looking through the rip. Text: “I don’t know who needs to know this but you can use patterned socks to mend holes in your clothes.”]
Yup! You can use pretty much any fabric as long as it’s a good match for the fabric of the original garment and as long as it’s comfortable.
