Tools that will be needed in work:

• Jeans - you can take pants from another fabric, but then the processing technology will be somewhat different.
• Scissors - sharp, large - preferably for fabric.
• Sandpaper or nail file, razor, small grater, if holes are planned in addition to holes.
• Blade or clerical knife - you can replace this tool with usual manicure scissors, but then you have to be more careful in the work.
• Lace, additional pieces of fabric, if you are planning a beautiful feminine decoration and sewing it under the hole as an internal patch.
• The ripper or needle - will be useful when pulling unnecessary threads.

First you need to determine the places where the slots will be made, holes - analyze jeans fabric of trousers:

• If it is badly worn, then the holes should be small, in places where no bends are supposed -on the back pockets, under the knees or above them.
• If the fabric is new and does not crack at the seams, the placement, size and shape of the holes can be any.

Rovem jeans beautifully - technics:

• Holes in the style of Grunge are made very simply. At the desired location, parallel strips are cut into different lengths at a distance of 5 mm from each other. Cross threads are stretched and eliminated. If some of the strands are accidentally damaged, do not panic - this will add sophistication to trousers and will not spoil them completely.
• Ragged jeans with their own hands in the style of Minimalism. Here it is necessary to outline several areas on jeans with small holes. The main task is not to damage the transverse threads, but to take out part of the filaments so that they do not touch too brightly sticking out.

Important! As a rule, such holes are made 2 by 4 cm in size and placed closer to the lateral seams.

• Torn holes on jeans are used quite often, especially when it comes to large hole sizes. This effect can be achieved by using a simple kitchen grater, sandpaper or pumice stone for feet. In order to make fashionable jeans, the main thing is not to touch the threads that have remained fractional or cross, so that the trousers serve you for more than a month or even a year, and the fringe does not break after the first wash.

The usual kitchen accessories sometimes come to us for help with needlework. To make the hole on the jeans look shabby and old, you can resort to a simple grater or a piece of sandpaper:

1. Tightly, at the edge of the hole, with small jerks, draw the selected tool so that the threads are fluffed.
2. Do the same for each edge of the gaps.
3. Finally, bleach the threads with a chlorinated solution.

Important! The work can be done both from the wrong side, and from the front.

Often the inside of the jeans looks more interesting than the front side. If you have additional pieces of such fabric, you can try to make a patch on the front of your pants.

Important! You can sew the patch with large stitches so that the thread is clearly visible - this addition will be quite appropriate for both women's clothing and men's.

Clutches of another kind of fabric can be used to create drawings - everything depends on your imagination. Improve your ragged jeans with your own hands so that they can later be a complement to both a daring sporty image and a feminine romantic one.
