The crotch of jeans is often subjected to all sorts of wear-and-tear effects like stretching, rubbing, and worst of all, poking. This is the location where large and small tears often appear. Instead of giving up and throwing away your damaged jeans, there are several methods you can use to repair the hole. You can sew closed if it is a small hole, but a larger hole needs to be patched. No matter how good you are at sewing, you can still fix a hole in the crotch of your jeans.
Steps
Sew small holes or tears by hand
- Remember to cut only the threads, not the fabric. [1] X Research Source
- Overlock stitches or cleavage stitches are good choices at this step.
- Sew smaller stitches as you get to the other side of the hole.
- Untie thread to tighten, knot and trim excess thread. [2] X Research Source
- Start the stitches on the other side of the overlock line, at least 1 cm apart.
- You can use a sewing machine, but if it’s just a very small hole, you can just sew it by hand.
Repair small holes or tears with a sewing machine
- Pull this thread to the bobbin, thread it through a small hole, and wrap it around a few turns to keep it in place.
- Snap the bobbin into place by pushing it to the right and gently depress the pedal to wind the thread from the spool to the bobbin until the required amount of thread is taken.
- Cut the thread to separate the spool and bobbin, then remove the bobbin and turn off the machine.
- Thread through the hooks on the front and side of the needle before going through the eyelet.
- Often on the sewing machine there will be an arrow or direction to help you thread more easily. [5] X Research Sources
- Most sewing machines have this basic threading pattern. [6] X Research Sources
- To pull the bobbin thread onto the top of the sewing machine, you use one hand to turn the wheel to lower the needle, and the other hand to hold the thread from the spool.
- Lift the needle back up, carefully pull the thread from the spool, and the bobbin thread will appear. [8] X Research Sources
- If you’ve overlocked the torn edges before, be sure to start these stitches about 1cm away from the overlock line to avoid breaking the overlock line.
- If the hole is too small or in an awkward spot, it will be very difficult for you to move the pants on the sewing machine, so sewing by hand is probably easier.
Paste the patch
- You can buy cloth patches instead of rags.
- Each glue has a different drying time, but usually no more than a few hours.
Stick the patch with an iron
- You can estimate by eye, but measuring with a tape measure is more accurate, and it will help you avoid wasting a patch by accidentally cutting too small.
- Round the corners so the patch doesn’t come off easily.
- When the patch is done, you can remove the fabric on the other side, and that’s it.
Patch the big hole
- If you want to put the patch on the reverse side, you should choose a color close to the color of the jeans for a more natural look.
- You can get creative with patches if you want to show off your personality or have something fun. [11] X Research Source
- Make sure the patch material is no thicker than the jeans fabric. If the patch doesn’t sag when you move it it could tear the surrounding fabric.
- Another option is to use an ironing board. Instead of pinning the fabric, you can iron on the patch and sew it back on to make it last longer.
- Repeat the above action until all stitches around the patch are stitched with diagonal stitches. Once you’ve finished one loop, you’ll stitch again, this time moving in the opposite direction to create cross stitches over the previous stitches. As a result you will have X-shaped stitches.
- Be careful not to sew two layers of fabric together or sew the patch from the pocket to the leg or crotch. [13] X Research Source
Warning
- Wear tight shorts or panties under jeans to prevent it from poking!
- Sew slowly if you are using the sewing machine for the first time.
Things you need
- Stitches are strong and match (or match) the color of jeans
- Large hand sewing needle or sewing machine
- Drag or pull the thread press
- A patch to mend a large hole
- Iron (optional)
- Fabric glue (optional)
