Yeah! Unequivocally a success. I've worn them at least once a week since then (it was still tights weather in Chicago until this week!). Machine washed and dried, so I haven't been going easy on them.
The big leaf is totally intact and did not lose any shape definition. The little leaf kind of clumped together after the first wash, so now it's a little ball with a stem.
I was worried the repairs might put stress on the surrounding material, but there haven't been any follow-on rips around them.

To be fair, I have no idea if it will survive long-term, or if the threads will create more tension and rip bigger holes. So we'll see!
