FIXING - boys will be boys - pants mending

Against better judgment a friend of mine climbed onto his apartment building roof late one night at a party. While on his adventure he caught the seat of his pants on a nail or something and tore the corduroy material. I said I would fix it.
That was months ago. I kept the pants an extra long time as a penalty for doing something so stupid.

Here is the rip with some pink paper behind it, to highlight the damage.

I took a scrap of similar baby/fine wale corduroy, trimmed the edges with pinking shears, and used spray adhesive to properly position it on the rip. I put the patch on the inside. Here it is.

Here is the outside of the tear after affixing the fabric patch inside. I trimmed all stray threads to make the torn edges clean.

I used a wide short zig zag to cover the rip. About 5 rows back and forth tracing the path of the tear. After that I sewed the perimeter of the patch in a small straight stitch. Along the pocket edge I sewed along the existing seams. I sewed along the lines of the corduroy about every half inch to really attach the patch (because the fabric there was stressed from the hole).

Here it is on the inside.

Here is the mending after from the outside.
