How to remove or seal a hole in jeans?

What to do with torn jeans and how to fix a hole? Damage to the fabric most often appears on factory models that have been subjected to chemical treatment, for example, popular “boiled” jeans. Due to the effects of high temperatures and chemistry, the structure of the fabric deteriorates, which leads to the formation of a hole.

Teenagers who have discovered damage, for example, on the knee, may well turn the hole into a stylish and fashionable image.

Important! Of course, it is necessary that the gap has a harmonious appearance. To do this, you can enlarge the hole a little, and the edges are “ragged”. In general, give jeans a fashionable and finished look. Torn models usually have several holes that are located asymmetrically on the knees, hips or below the knees.

If you are not third-party naked body parts in trousers, then you can use the following methods. The following tips and tricks will help you answer the question of how to repair jeans on your knee and beyond.

Method number 1. Darn manually

This method is perfect for rectangular slots or as a corner:

  1. Buy threads that are identical in fabric color. Lighter and darker tones will not work, as the repair site will look untidy, thereby attracting unnecessary attention.
  2. Darn horizontal holes manually with fine and thick stitches. Do not rush, each stitch should be equal to the previous one and be positioned tight enough to it.

Important! There should be no distance between the stitches; otherwise, all efforts will be meaningless.

Method number 2. Patch

Look for a piece of fabric that will harmonize with the color of your trousers. Ideally, the patch will be identical to jeans fabric.

The process of repairing jeans using a patch is as follows:

  1. Determine the shape and size of the holes.
  2. Cut the workpiece from the prepared material according to the data obtained, allowing 1-2 cm to fall. If the hole has an intricate shape, then the future patch should still have the correct shape.
  3. Overcast the edges of the cut blank by hand or using a sewing machine.
  4. Place the patch under the gap. The edges of the fabric should be at the same distance from the hole.
  5. Fix the patch with needles.
  6. Baste by hand.
  7. If the patch does not wrinkle, then sew it completely and carefully.

Important! If you decide that this idea suits you as an option, what to do if your jeans are torn, take note of these useful tips:

  • If you could not find a piece of fabric that is perfect in color jeans, then play in contrast.For example, on men's jeans, put a patch of leather, and on women's - wool, lace, chiffon, organza, dense fabric with a pattern. And so that the unusual patch looks original and harmonious, make another one the same. This option is suitable for those girls who are tormented by the question of how to repair jeans on their knees. Contrast fabric will look stylish and fashionable. The edges of unusual patches can not be processed, but left “shaggy” or decorated with rhinestones.
  • Patches can be made in their original form. Inserts in the form of a rhombus, a star look good.

Method number 3. Applique

Using different fabrics and accessories, you can get a work of art from damaged trousers. For example, to repair children's models, you can use various applications in the form of cartoon characters.

An application can be bought ready-made or made independently.

Important! Factory applications have an adhesive base and are easily attached to the fabric with a hot iron. But as a result of several washes, they can peel off, so it is better to fix them with threads.

If you decide to make the application yourself, then use different material:

  • The most effective combination of jeans with leather.
  • You can use beads, decorative buttons, braid and just fabric of various textures.

Connect imagination and create. Floristic motifs will add elegance to the product, while ethnic motifs will give style. Golden hues will make jeans luxurious. And cats, fish and butterflies will turn jeans into a cute and delicate thing.

Important! If you place the application on a piece of denim and sew it on a hole in the form of a pocket, then you can also increase the functionality of the trousers. A pocket is never superfluous.

Method number 4. Stuffing

The method of masking a hole with a sewing machine is called a thing. It is indispensable for the repair of men's trousers, since the sewing machine has the ability to sew stitches in the forward and reverse direction. This method involves laying lines at a very close distance from each other. As a result, the threads simply “clog” the gap.

Important! Putting is considered the most high-quality repair, but more complex.

For repair you will need:

  • Threads are the same color as the fabric.
  • A flap of jeans or a dense fabric for a patch.
  • Flap of adhesive tissue (non-woven).
  • Scissors.
  • Iron.
  • Sewing machine and needle number 100.

  1. Make a patch of the prepared material.
  2. On the underside of the trousers, attach a patch to the hole. The flap of fabric should be a bit larger than the gap.
  3. On the patch, put the adhesive fabric with the rough base down, that is, the adhesive base. Non-woven should be a little more flap.
  4. Put any flap of cotton cloth on the adhesive fabric so that the glue does not contaminate the sole of the iron.
  5. Moisten the surface with water.
  6. Iron with a hot iron. For convenience, put a towel roll under the jeans.
  7. Remove the cotton fabric and check the quality of work. Glue cloth should stick well.
  8. Set the sewing machine to zigzag.
  9. Select the maximum stitch width.
  10. Increase the stitch frequency.
  11. On the front side of the product, make the first stitch along the hole in the forward direction, and then in the opposite direction. One line should go behind another by 0.1-0.2 cm.
  12. Carry out such manipulations until you completely sew in the damaged area. The line should go not only to the patch, but also beyond its edges.
  13. At the end of the fitting, pull the threads to the wrong side and tie the knots so that the stitches do not open.
  14. Cut off excess adhesive.
  15. From the front, trim the existing fringe.
  16. Iron and parse the darned area.

Important! If you prefer this method in order to repair jeans in a quality manner, use these tips:

  • If the model of the sewing machine does not have the ability to sew in a quality manner in the opposite direction, then during operation just turn the product and sew only directly.
  • It is very important to choose the threads in tone, so take a few similar shades in the store, and before the fitting process, try all the options on a separate shred of fabric and select the most suitable.
  • From the first time, a quality line may not work, so do it in stages. First, make lines and see if there are any gaps. If there is, then go over them again with a machine line.
  • Very interesting and creative will look looks made in threads of contrasting color. Such work will look unusual and focus on yourself.
  • You can use a lightweight method of packing. You will need a patch of adhesive fabric and thread matching jeans. On the wrong side, glue the adhesive fabric (described above), and on the front side, lay a few zigzag stitches. At the end, cut off the excess adhesive tissue, and the hole will be almost imperceptible.

How to fix scuffs and holes between legs?

The most difficult part is scuffs and holes between the legs. Of course, you can take the most radical way and cut off your legs, turning jeans into shorts. But most of us still want to keep our trousers alive. There are two options for “resurrection” denim.

Option number 1. Patch

As in the previous methods, it is necessary to choose the material for the patch. The fabric should have the same structure and color, but if you are not afraid of experiments, then use contrast fabric or leather. In addition, it is necessary to pick up the threads to match the jeans and the tone directly to the patch.

Then proceed as follows:

  1. Estimate the size of the hole.
  2. Prepare the hole: cut off the excess thread and give the gap the desired shape.
  3. Prepare a patch that should exceed the size of the gap. If the fabric around the hole is dilapidated and problematic, it is better to play it safe and cut the patch so that it covers the entire problem area. Do not forget to leave a margin on the seams (1-2 cm).
  4. Overcast the edges of the patch so that they do not begin to get enough sleep.
  5. Turn out the jeans.
  6. Pin the patch so that its outside is in contact with the inside of the trousers. Check how the result will look.
  7. Sew a patch over the bobbin thread.
  8. Sew patch in small stitches or zigzag. Sew a few stitches back and forth over the entire area of ​​the tear.
  9. Remove pins and cut off excess fabric.

Important! A more reliable option is to stitch the patch around the perimeter from the inside, and after that, stitch the gap directly. In this case, even with bursting threads, the hole will be securely hidden.

Option number 2. Using inserts

If the jeans are worn on both sides or the hole is quite voluminous, then you can’t hide such a problem with the first option. In this case, you need to sew holes using inserts.

To get started, prepare the following material:

  • Threads of two colors: in tone of fabric and in tone of a line.
  • Fabric for inserts.

You can remove the hole on the jeans as follows:

  1. Spread the inner seam about 20 cm, and the central back seam about 10-15 cm. If there are tears on both sides, then open both side seams (inner along the leg).
  2. Remove the threads and tidy the hole, trim the edges, cut the protruding threads.
  3. Smooth the damaged area thoroughly while unrolling the seams.
  4. Attach the insertion tissue to the gap and determine the size. Remember to leave a stock of fabric on the seam.
  5. Cut the desired area.
  6. Gently stitch the insert to the trousers.
  7. Sew open parts of your trousers.

Important! If the jeans are worn on both sides, then for a quality repair, additionally use an adhesive lining based on knitwear. From the inside, place it in such a way that it moves on the pants about 2 cm. It is advisable to put the adhesive lining on the front side as well.

Prepare two identical patterns for each leg so that they are mirrored. Attach patches on the front side, sweep and stitch with double stitching.

  • For inconspicuous holes, use a shimmer.
