I don't like to give up on a hide or cape if there is a chance I can repair it.

  :chuckle: Patches #2 wasn't quite as bad as Patches #1.  I think I only had 1/2 the sewing. 

Just don't start your back leg incision on the side of the foot, to the pecker, and to the inside of the other foot.

Start your incision on the back of the foot down the back part of the leg to the butt hole and than to the back of the foot on the oposite leg.
