I finally stopped procrastinating and patched the knees on two pairs of jeans that each had one ripped knee. First I ironed on the patches, then I hand-stitched all the way around the edge of each to keep them from peeling.
I'm not going to wear patched jeans to work, but I can wear them everywhere else and now I don't need to throw them away just because of a ripped knee.
I procrastinated because the stitching is a pain, but of course in the end it wasn't as bad as all that.
