This way you can eliminate tears and through holes, plus strengthen wiped thin spots.
Everyone probably has their favorite jeans that they don’t want to part with, even if they burst, rubbed or torn, for example, on the knee. This repair method is not camouflage, that is, the result will not be imperceptible. It looks more like a Japanese denim repair method when the result looks like original decor.
So, in the presence of worn out and, as a result, jeans torn on the knee. Plus - they were originally made holes that were tired, I also wanted to sew them up.
How to make jeans patches
You will need:
- jeans requiring repair;
- shreds of denim (in the color of trousers or contrasting - optional);
- "spider web" (you can do without it);
- scissors;
- tailor pins;
- a spreader;
- needle for hand sewing and thread for basting;
- thin threads in denim color or contrasting, if desired;
- thicker threads for the side seams (in the color of the threads that sew your jeans);
- sewing machine;
- iron.
How to simply repair a torn loafer on jeans
Step 1
The article will continue after the advertisement.
Jeans must be washed before work.
If you, as in my case, have a piece of other jeans for repair, you need to open the seams, wash the shreds and iron.
Step 2
Turn the jeans inside out.Spread the section of the side seam opposite the repair site, plus 10-15 centimeters up and down. Unpack so that it is convenient to work with the place of repair.
Step 3
Iron the area where repairs will be made.
Straighten the leg and find a place for the patch so that it covers the hole and some space nearby. In our case, the trouser leg is well worn around the knee, so I decided not to limit myself to repairing the hole, but to strengthen the entire area nearby.
The flap can be glued to the "cobweb", you can notice.
Step 4
Thread thin threads in denim (or contrasting, if desired) into the machine. Lay simple lines back and forth. You can use the reverse line or rotate the work each time. The area of the hole itself is better to stitch more often. I strengthened the thinned fabric nearby with more rare lines. The ends of the threads can be turned inside out and tied into knots, or fastened and cut close to the seam.
Remove the mark.
In the same way, through wide holes can be repaired.
Step 5
When the repair of the holes is completed, it will be necessary to re-open the open side seam. Fold up the trouser leg turned inside out, align the edges and iron.
Chip off the trouser legs and stitch the open section. Use a thread similar in color and thickness to the one that the seam was made in. The allowances for these jeans do not require processing, but if your model needs it, trim the edge.
In these jeans, the side seam allowances are flattened. If yours is the same, iron the allowances.If the edges of the legs are welded together and ironed, iron them as they were originally. Done.
