Most other types of clothing are not as rugged as jeans are.They're not going to suffer any wear and tear as time goes by.A damaged pair of jeans can be very discouraging.It's simple to save your jeans.Solutions are available for burst seam or gaping hole.
Step 1: The edges should be cut off.
Before you can properly repair your jeans, you need to cut the excess threads or the edges that are caused by the tear.You don't want to lose any material if you cut close, so take some scissors and try to cut as close as possible.
Step 2: Put the tear up.
If you haven't lost a lot of material, you can usually mend smaller rips without using patches.If you turn your jeans inside out, the new seams won't be visible when you sew.Stitch back and forth until the rip is mended, using a sewing needle and thread.It's important to make the stitches as close as possible.Try to use the same thread as the rest of the jeans if it's available.This will be either a white or black thread.If the rip is in a place far away from natural seams, it's recommended you choose a colour that best fits your jeans' regular colour (usually blue or black).
Step 3: Remove excess thread and protruding material.
You can cut the extra bits off once you get the rip sewn up.You should cut the sewing thread as close to the jean material as possible.If you didn't catch any of the edges first time, give them a second chance.
Step 4: You can iron your jeans with a clothes iron.
The jeans need to be sealed with an iron press now that you've made the repair.It will make your pants feel new.
Step 5: Understand the difference between tear types.
The fabric in the seams is usually more reinforced than the rest of the pant legs and should be approached differently than a regular tear.If done correctly, mending a seam rip will look better in the end, and it will be impossible to tell there was a problem to begin with.
Step 6: Prepare thread after assessing the damage.
Most of the time a torn seam is a few centimetres.It is a good idea to cut a length of thread around your arm if the tear is small.Seam stitches are very tightly woven, and the thread will disappear faster than you think.If you have excess at the end of mending, you should always cut the extra thread off.It is important to choose a thread that resembles the existing stitching.Some denim brands prefer golden thread, which doesn't match up with the colour of the jeans themselves.The repairs will look more difficult to recognize if you choose a close colour.
Step 7: The thread should be sewn across the torn seam.
Slowly sew the broken seam back together with the fabric.You should try to follow the pre-existing stitch pattern.The closer you are to replicating that pattern, the harder it will be for anyone to detect a repair.A stronger needle is needed to penetrate the thicker seam fabric.
Step 8: At the end, remove any excess thread.
Once you've sewn shut the extent of the tear, you should take some scissors and cut off any excess thread as close as possible.
Step 9: The seam needs to be iron.
Once you're done sewing, it's a good idea to iron out the seam.It will help seal your repairs by smoothing out the thread.
Step 10: Get a patch that matches the style of your jeans and the size of the hole.
If you have a bigger hole that can't be mended with a single seam, your best bet is to get a patch, an extra piece of fabric you can use to cover the hole.You can find patches at specialty stores.You should buy a patch that matches the colour of your jeans.If you want to have more room to make errors, you should get a patch that's slightly bigger than the hole you're covering.While denim patches are the safest bet if you're looking to repair your jeans, you can take the damage as an opportunity to change out your pants with brightly coloured or flannel patches.Adding a patch that stands out from the rest of the clothing will give it a down-to-earth flair.While denim is best sewn in on the inside of the jeans, patching different fabrics to the outside of your jeans will make them more prominent and eye-catching.You can make your own patches from jeans you don't use anymore.
Step 11: Cut the edges.
If you have a bigger hole, you should still cut off the edges.If it sounds like you're losing material, it's best to get rid of the frayed edges and leave a clean hole.Cut the excess threads with scissors.There shouldn't be a lot of threads by the end.
Step 12: Your pants need to be turned inside out.
Turn your jeans inside out while you patch them.The most visible seams won't be visible outside.It will allow you to make sewing mistakes.It is better to sew a denim patch in from the inside.This will make the patch look less obvious.
Step 13: The patch should be sewed with close-knit seams.
You need a sewing needle and thread to sew the patch after you turn your jeans inside out.If you want to integrate the fabric into your jeans as closely as possible, try to keep your sewing close.
Step 14: You need to iron your patch.
Ironing a small tear is more important than ironing a patch.This will help seal the patch.
