How to sew a hole on jeans (on the knee, pope, between the legs)?

The question of whether it is possible to somehow imperceptibly sew a hole in jeans, actually excites many. Denim - the material itself is wear-resistant and can serve for many years. It’s especially a shame if your favorite comfortable denim pants are torn, which, moreover, fit nicely on the figure. Do not rush to throw them out! There are several solutions to the problem. Further we will tell you in detail how to restore the jeans so that they look like brand new.

Atelier Method

Not everyone knows that torn and worn between the legs jeans are taken to be repaired in a sewing studio. Even if they are hopelessly spoiled at first glance, professionals in their field will bring them into proper shape. The technique can be used at home. It is simple and does not require special skills.

For work you will need:

• sewing machine;
• adhesive patch ("spider line", doublerin);
• iron;
• oblong solid object, crawling into the leg of jeans;
• scissors;
• threads of 2-3 colors.

It is worth mentioning that there is one secret in the methodology. To darn a fray or hole unnoticed, you need to choose the right color of thread to jeans. It is wrong to use one blue or black thread. Typically, jeans use 2 shades of fiber - light and dark. We select exactly such threads, take a gray "spider line" for dark jeans, and white - for light ones.

Getting started:

1. If the jeans are wrinkled, iron them with an iron.
2. Cut out a patch from the glue "cobweb". Its radius should be 1–1.5 cm larger than the hole.
3. We put a patch on a hard object and put it in a trouser leg. We make sure that it lies flat on the wrong side.
4. Tighten the edges of the hole as much as possible (jeans should not be bristled). If there is a “fringe”, carefully cut it with scissors.
5. We iron the front part of the jeans in the patch area with a hot iron. Press the iron for 3-5 seconds several times so that the glue surely flares up and seizes.
6. We proceed to work on a typewriter. First we insert the threads of a light shade and scribble frequent lines perpendicular to the hole. Stitch length - 2.5 mm.
7. We take the next thread color and again we sew the frequent even lines perpendicular to the light and on top of them. It turns out an imitation of denim. Light lines, as a rule, are made in the direction of the base, and dark ones are duck.

In this way, you can beautifully and inconspicuously stitch jeans if the abrasion or hole is on the pope, knee, near the belt. An exception is the case when the pants are torn at the seam. Then on the typewriter the usual line is laid. You just need to continue the ragged line from the wrong side.

If you don’t have a car at hand

Manually cope with the task is somewhat more complicated. Have to be patient and assiduous. The scheme for fixing jeans without a machine is as follows:

1. We solder the edges of the hole with a patch of doublerin. We apply it to the inside, and from the front part we pass through a hot iron. Alternatively, you can use a piece of regular fabric - ideally denim is the same color, but any other one will do. The flap is wound around the hole. Torn edges are also pulled together with a basting seam.
2. The most responsible and longest stage is to flush a leaky place with lines manually. An old manual seam resembles a machine one as much as possible. It looks like this:



3. You need to make stitches as close as possible to each other with threads of the same color as jeans.
4. In the end, it remains only to remove the basting seam.

If the hole or abrasion on the jeans has a large radius, it is necessary to replace the fabric by inserting a flap.There is one trick - the same matter can be taken from the back pocket. It is necessary to carefully cut the part adjacent to the body, and to stitch the pocket itself. Instead, you get a trick. Then the patch is sewn around the perimeter with perpendicular frequent lines.

Alternatives

If your denim pants are torn on your knee, on your pocket, in the lower part of your leg, it may be worth taking a chance to give them a new life. Holes can become an element of decor. Designer jeans are always fashionable and stylish!

So what can you do with torn jeans? 5 best ideas:

1. The hole on the knee will change if you make it even bigger and sew lace or printed fabric.
2. If the hole is exactly on the knee, you can remake regular jeans in pants with cuts on the knees - just 2 minutes to work with scissors.
3. Have you noticed a hole in your leg? Do more, and more than one. Rub them with a grater so that fringe appears on the edges. Jeans-rivets are especially relevant in the summer.
4. Cut the bottom of the jeans and make shorts out of them!
5. Select a decorative patch and stick it in place of the hole, armed with an iron. There are very interesting options. For example, a patch in the form of embroidered flowers or lips, a heart, the inscription "wow", cactus, avocado, etc.

In order to not see the hole on the jeans, you need to approach the repair of the product wisely: to study the technology and observe accuracy in work. Follow the instructions above and you will be surprised at the result. In any case, the ability to darn is useful in life. So why not learn it right now?
