How to sew a hole without a seam: a selection of neat ways

Small defects on clothing and interior items - not a reason to throw them away. If you sew a hole without a seam, then the thing will again be suitable for use. We tell you how to accurately and beautifully carry out tissue repair with your own hands.

Basic recommendations

Sewing a hole on clothes is right for even novice housewives. First, read the standard repair rules:

1. So that the seam on the fabric is not visible, the thickness of the needle should correspond to the density of matter. Too thick a needle leaves ugly holes. Ideally, it is better to take a needle for embroidery with beads - the thinnest.
2. Do not forget that the color of the threads should match the fabric as much as possible.
3. Make sure that there are enough threads in the needle.
4. Work slowly.
5. Always carry a sprayer with you.
6. The needles should be new, even and free of rust.

If the first time you can’t make a beautiful and invisible seam, do not worry and train more. Sewing is a difficult task, but with practice it begins to bring pleasure.

Repairing clothes with a needle and thread

A longitudinal hole is easily darned with a primitive seam manually. To do this, fold the edges from the inside and fasten them “forward with a needle”. In addition, we sew a seam “over the edge” and fix the thread to the knot. Sewing "snake" imitates a machine line. So repair things that are seamed. It is very convenient to darn a hole in the toe and pantyhose with a “snake”.

What to do with things in which a hole formed in a prominent place? There are several tricks that will quickly return the fabric to its proper appearance.

Knitwear

Small items sometimes appear on knitwear, in inconspicuous places or in a prominent area. Often, such defects occur on T-shirts, T-shirts, shorts, sweatpants and leggings after machine wash.

It’s easy to fix them with circular sewing, and nobody will notice anything:

1. We take the thread exactly in the color of the fabric.
2. We pass each loop with stitches, moving in a circle and tightening the thread. We work on the wrong side and constantly check how the fabric looks from the front.
3. The hole will gradually tighten.
4. Do not forget to fasten the thread from the inside so that the seam does not dispose.

In the same way, a woolen sweater, sweater, pullover is repaired.

Another example of a darn that hide a round hole on a piece of thin knitwear:

1. We take out a thin kapron thread of their unnecessary tights.
2. From the front side we hook the loops and fasten them with a thread, without pulling together the fabric.
3. Finish sewing from the inside, fasten the thread with a knot.
4. Iron the darning place with a hot iron. The kapron thread will melt a little and close the defect.

Jerseys have holes in the seam area, especially under the armpit: holes there form at an angle, and it is no longer possible to flash them with standard machine stitch.

How to act:

1. We prepare a thin hook and threads for knitting, similar in thickness and color to the fabric of the thing.
2. We hook the loop and stretch it through the next one.
3. At the end, we fix everything with a needle.

Jeans

Jeans are often wiped between the legs from frequent wear and washing. Sew this place unnoticed by simulating the weaving of threads in the fabric.

Better use the machine line:

1. Turn the trousers inside out.
2. First, we sew the torn part along several lines, then do the same across. From the threads should be a dense mesh. On the front side, this work is very similar to the structure of denim.

If the jeans fabric is not damaged in a critical place, such as a leg or pocket, then try punching. If necessary, make the cut wider, stretch the longitudinal threads and rub the edges with sandpaper to give them fluffy.

Outerwear

Massive products are best entrusted to the atelier workers, since you can’t do without ripping off the lining. It is especially offensive when an expensive fur coat suffers. Holes on the fur appear mainly on the sleeves, in the armpits. To fix the defect, you will need a thread in the color of the fur, glue moment and a medical bandage.

Instruction:

1. Sew torn edges with each other.
2. Cut a small strip of bandage.
3. Put a little glue on the bandage.
4. We apply a bandage to the seam.
5. We lay out the fur coat on a flat surface and wait for a couple of days to dry.

Linens

Repairing sheets, pillowcases and other bedding requires special care. An uneven seam not only looks ugly, but also causes discomfort during sleep. If the sheet is torn in the center, it means that the fabric in this place has been erased and will no longer fulfill its function. Cut the sheet in half, and then sew so that the edges are in the center. Do not forget to overcast new edges.

purity.bigbadmole.com/en/ recommends suturing holes on sheets immediately after detection, otherwise they will grow quickly.

Tip
To make the seam tight and not split, sew stitches as close as possible.

Repair without a needle

A tape for gluing fabric will help out if a defect appears on beautiful trousers or a shirt. We cut out a small piece of tape and apply it from the wrong side to the place of the hole, having previously tightened its edges. Cover the tape with a cloth, sprinkle with water. Heat the iron and place the sole against the patch for 10 seconds. Done! Turn around and enjoy the result.

In this way, it will be possible to repair the holes on the fabric burnt from the cigarette, including on outerwear: jackets, parks, coats.

Beautiful patches

If a small hole is easy to eliminate in ordinary ways, then with a large defect it is necessary to connect creative abilities. The easiest way is to carry out repairs with thermal stickers. They are sold at any needlework store.

Different decorative stickers are selected in accordance with the style of clothing. By the way, this way you can not only mask damage, but also create original clothes. For children's dresses there are heart patches, for boy's t-shirts and pants - with the image of cartoon characters.

Bursting upholstery on the sofa or chair seat is also masked with patches. Holes on the thinnest tulle cannot be sewn up invisibly, but thermal stickers with floral ornaments, butterflies, etc. will come to the rescue.

Important
The patch should not only completely cover the hole, but also go beyond its edges. This ensures product integrity.

Do not rush to get rid of the product if its defect can be repaired. A neat line or a beautiful applique will return a thing to order.
