Repairing a hole

Some time last summer, M said he got attacked by a screen door, resulting in a rip in his shirt. He asked if I could fix it -

I stared out with fusible interfacing - the no sew kind
I ironed one side of the interfacing to a piece of scrap fabric that was in the same color range as the shirt I was repairing.
Then I cut out a section of the interfacing with pinking sheers - thus making my own patch.
Then I ironed the patch to the inside of the hole and put a bit of fray-check on the outside. results below:
Here is the 'before' for reference.
Hope some one will find this helpful.
