I'm sure each of us at least once in our lives has faced the problem when their favorite jeans are torn, leaving a rather strong and unpleasant residue. Often the reason for this can be trivial old age or wear and tear.

Over time, holes will appear on any garment from washing, frequent contact with surfaces, or will tear when we accidentally snag on some wire on a fence.

In most cases, tears occur between the legs, on the knees or buttocks, and along the bottom edge. But do not get upset, there are a lot of ways to bring your thing back to its former, if not worse, appearance. About this will be this article.

How to inconspicuously sew up a hole

Around the world, there are a lot of ways, tricks to bring things into a proper form. Well, the choice of method depends on what place needs to be stitched.

In the crotches.

Holes and serious scuffing in the leg area of jeans can probably be considered the most common damage that occurs while wearing the thing.

If you can not find the fabric, or just lazy, you can shorten the lower part, and the resulting pieces have already used as patches.

If there is no such a possibility, it is enough to find a fabric that is as similar in color and structure as possible. The patch should be sewn to the pants, necessarily turned inside out.

Choose in the tone of fabric and threads, as their non-combination can be very detrimental to the thing. The stitching on the patch should match the stitching on the jeans.

On the front, sew the repaired area with a zigzag stitch.

This is one of the easiest ways, and by taking into account all the subtleties of sewing to eliminate the imperfections of jeans, if not completely, then virtually imperceptible.

On your knees

To begin with, it should be noted that it is impossible to sew jeans at the knee so that it is invisible. But, if you like to do hand stitching, this is a great chance to show off your imagination.

Below are a number of the easiest and best ways to finish knee piercings:

1. Patch jeans from opposite colors.
2. Printed patch.
3. Darn with contrast and decoration.
4. Embroidery.
5. Leather patch.

Decorative patches can be sewn to the front or to the wrong side. They will look harmoniously on the knees, it is desirable to arrange them symmetrically. But it will also look stylish, unusual and tasteful on one knee.

On the butt

To choose the type of restoration of jeans in the "soft spot" area, it is necessary to determine the nature of the damage. A torn hole can be repaired with the stitching method.

Since this flaw is in a fairly visible place, which is quite conspicuous, we reject the patch on the backside at once. The best option is to glue, which will also help to negate the possibility of thickening that protrudes.

If the jeans are torn along or along the seam, you need to use a countersunk stitch.

Finally, the hole on the back can be hidden thanks to applique or phantom pocket. Picking and choosing decorations is quite important and not an easy process.

You should be guided by an array of traits of the wearer, such as gender, age life preferences and more.

Bottom edge.

Ragged bottom of jeans should be brought in order in the following sequence:

• Go over the hem area with an iron;
• remove the worn threads, or the entire bottom, if it is all repairable;
• Attach a pant ribbon to the front;
• wrap the attached ribbon inside, and then sew it on the wrong side;
• go over with an iron;

Finishing stitching will also not be superfluous, but this is on an individual request.

In addition to this method, you can cut off the bottom part at all or half, creating jeans Bermuda or breeches.

Without the patch.

If you're using a blindstitch, you don't need a patch. To make an invisible blindstitch, you need to do the following steps.

The technique for creating a blind stitch:

1. Randomly enter the thread from the wrong side and accordingly withdraw from the front. At the same time it is necessary to leave a knot in the fabric on the inside.
2. Align the torn edges, inserting the needle with steps of 4 - 5 millimeters.
3. Perform a straight stitch. The stitches should be on the front side.
4. Perform the action above until the torn area is completely covered. Also, it is advisable to pull up the thread slightly behind the stitch for a stronger and better work.

At the end of the work, however, secure the thread by threading it through the loop and tightening it loosely.

Beautifully stitch up jeans without a machine

Among the list of ways to repair jeans without a machine, there are several versions. For example, darning, stitching, countersunk stitching, stitching, lining. Let's look briefly at each type.

Darn is often used to mend clothes with fairly round and large holes. Threads, as in other cases, must match the color of the item being repaired. Thick threads are usually used in the current method.

Stuffing is often used instead of a patch. The piece itself is a sequence of even stitches at an identical distance to achieve a match with the threads of the fabric.

Simply put, the threads on the torn spot and the applied threads should become one. Gradually move back and forth, creating a firmly stitched spot.

For best results, it is best to use the first and last stitches as the shortest, over the skinny places as the longest.

A countersunk stitch is an invisible stitch whose stitches are laid on the front side and by tightening the thread the sewn spot becomes almost invisible.

The patch is what's on top, the lining is what's on the bottom. Both are sewn to the garment and should be matched in the same tone as the fabric being repaired.

Using a lining.

Clothing is necessary in order to cover the body, as well as to implement unique, original fashion images.

Jeans are pants that are made of denim fabric. In addition to denim, cotton fabric can also be used.

Often the color of this product is blue, but it also comes in white and black. The inventor of this excellent product is Jacob Davis. The discovery was made in 1871 and patented on the twentieth of May 1873.

It would seem that after a while the fashion of jeans, as well as other types of clothing should go away.

But it was not. And to this day denim products are quite relevant and fashionable. Jackets, pants and other items are often seen in public while out and about:

• First you need to choose a fabric of the same color as the jeans to be repaired. As an option, take an old unwanted jeans and from there cut a piece.
• Secondly, after choosing the fabric, cut out the desired shape patch.
• Put it on the fabric from the front side, fix it with pins on all sides.
• Extremely carefully, using small, thin stitches, go around the edges of the patch.
• Remove the unnecessary pins and unstitch the auxiliary thread.

Turn the denim inside out and do the same stitches only now around the hole. This way you will fix it, and it won't be able to further ruin your fabric.
