Now that the patch is fully attached, turn the jeans right side out.

Insert your needle from the inside of the jeans about 1/2 inch above the top of the hole and 1/2 inch to one side of the hole.

Pull the thread tight and insert the needle again on the other side of the hole about 1/2 and inch in the opposite direction.

This should create a stitch or a line of thread across the top of the hole.

Repeat the process to create enough stitches to cover the entire length of the hole.
