How to remove a hole on jeans?

Damage to the fabric most often appears on factory models that have been exposed to chemical treatments, for example, popular "boiled" jeans. Due to the influence of high temperatures and chemistry, the tissue structure deteriorates, which leads to the formation of a hole.

Teenagers who have found damage, for example, on the knee, can easily turn a gap into a stylish and fashionable image.

Important! Of course, it is necessary that the gap be harmonious. To do this, you can increase the hole a little, and the edges "razlohmat."In general, give jeans a fashionable and finished look. Ragged models usually have several gaps, which are asymmetric on the knees, hips or below the knees.

If you do not outsider naked body parts in pants, then you can use the following ways. The following tips and recommendations will help you answer the question of how to repair jeans on your knee and not only.

Method number 1.Darn by hand

This method is perfect for slotted or corner cuts:

1. Buy threads that are identical in color to the fabric. Lighter and darker colors will not work, as the place of repair will look untidy, thereby attracting unnecessary attention.
2. The horizontal tears are darned manually with small and tight stitches. Do not rush, each stitch should be equal to the previous one and be placed close enough to it.

Important! Between the stitches there should be no distance, otherwise - all efforts will be meaningless.

Method number 2.Patch

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

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

1. Determine the shape and size of the gap.
2. Cut the data from the prepared material from the prepared material, fitting in 1-2 cm. If the hole has an intricate appearance, then the future patch must still have the correct shape.
3. The edges of the cut piece are swept manually or with a sewing machine.
4. Place the patch under the hole. The edges of the fabric should be at the same distance from the hole.
5. Secure the patch with the needles.
6. Manual sweep.
7. If the patch does not frown, then sew it cleanly and neatly.

Important! If you decided that this idea suits you as an option, what to do if the jeans are torn, take note of such helpful tips:

• If you could not find a piece of fabric that perfectly fits the color of jeans, then play in contrast. For example, on men's jeans put a patch made of leather, and on women's - wool, lace, chiffon, organza, dense fabric with a pattern. And for an unusual patch to look 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 your knee. Contrast fabric will look stylish and fashionable. The edges of unusual patches can not be processed, but left "shaggy" or decorated with rhinestones.
• The patches can be made in an original form. Do not look bad inserts in the form of a diamond, a star.

Method number 3.Application

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

Application can be bought ready or done by yourself.

Important! Factory applications have an adhesive base and are easily attached to the fabric by a hot iron. But as a result of several washings they can get unstuck, so it's better to fix them with threads.

If you decide to make your own application, then use a different material:

• The most effectively combines jeans with the skin.
• You can apply and beads, decorative buttons, braid and just fabric of different texture.

Connect fantasy and create. Floristic motifs will give the product elegance, and ethnic - style. Golden shades will make jeans luxurious. A cat, fish and butterflies will turn jeans into a sweet and gentle thing.

Important! If the application is placed on a piece of denim fabric and sewed on a hole in the form of a pocket, then you can additionally increase the functionality of the trousers. A pocket is never superfluous.

Method # 4.Bushing

The method of masking a hole with a sewing machine is called a piece. It is indispensable for the repair of men's trousers, since the sewing machine has the ability to lay stitches in the forward and reverse directions. This method involves laying lines very close to each other. As a result - the threads simply "hammer" a hole.

Important! Punching is considered the most qualitative repair, but more complex.

For repair, you will need:

• Threads of the same color with a cloth.
• A flap of jeans or dense fabric for a patch.
• A flap of glutinous fabric( non-woven fabric).
• Scissors.
• Iron.
• Sewing machine and needle number 100.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Make a patch made of the prepared material.
2. Attach the patch to the hole on the underside of the trousers. The cloth flap should be slightly larger than the gap.
3. On the patch, place the glutinous fabric with a rough backing, that is, the glue base. Fleece must be slightly larger than the flap.
4. Put any flap of cotton cloth on the adhesive fabric so that the glue does not contaminate the soleplate of the iron.
5. Moisten the surface with water.
6. Smooth out everything with a hot iron. For convenience of work, place a roller under the jeans from the towel.
7. Remove the cotton cloth and check the work quality. Adhesive must adhere well.
8. Adjust the sewing machine to a zigzag.
9. Select the maximum stitch width.
10. Increase the stitch frequency.
11. On the front side of the product, make the first line on the hole in the forward direction, and then in the opposite direction. One line should go behind the other by 0.1-0.2 cm.
12. Carry out such manipulations until you completely sew up the damaged area. The string should go not only to the patch, but also to its edges.
13. When finished, pull the thread on the wrong side and tie the knots so that the lines do not bloom.
14. Trim off excess glue.
15. Cut the existing fringe from the front.
16. Smooth and mop the dirty patch.

Important! If you prefer this method, to qualitatively repair the jeans, use these tips:

• If the sewing machine model does not have the ability to sew in the reverse direction, then just turn the product and just sew straight.
• It is very important to choose the thread in tone, so take in the store a few similar shades, and before the process of trimming try all the options on a separate shred of fabric and choose the most suitable.
• The first time a quality line can not work, so do everything in stages. First make lines and see if there are lumens. If there is, then go through them again with the machine line.
• Very interesting and creative will look like a piece made with threads of contrasting color. Such work will look unusual and focus on yourself.
• You can use a lightweight way of making things. You will need a flap of glutinous cloth and thread in the tone of jeans. From the wrong side, glue the adhesive fabric( described above), and from the front side, lay a few zigzag stitches. In the end, cut off excess glue, and the hole will be almost imperceptible.

How to fix the scuffs and holes between the legs?

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

Option number 1.Patch

As in the previous methods, it is necessary to select the material for the patch. The fabric should have the same structure and color, but if you are not afraid of experimentation, then use a contrast cloth or skin. In addition, you need to pick up and thread the tone to the jeans and the tone directly to the patch.

Then proceed as follows:

1. Evaluate the hole's size.
2. Prepare a hole: cut off excess threads and give the hole the required shape.
3. Prepare a patch, the size of which must exceed the size of the gap. If the tissue around the hole is dilapidated and problematic, it is better to reinsert and cut out the patch in such a way that it covers the entire problem area. Do not forget to leave a stock on the seams( 1-2 cm).
4. Cut the edges of the patch so that they do not begin to get enough sleep.
5. Remove the jeans.
6. Pin the patch so that its outer side touches the underside of the trousers. Check how the result will look.
7. Use a thread to sew a patch.
8. Tune the patch with small stitches or zigzag. Make a few stitches back and forth across the whole area of ​​the hole.
9. Remove the pins and cut off excess fabric.

Important! A more reliable option is to stitch the patch around the perimeter from the wrong side, and after that, stitch the hole directly. In this case, even if the threads burst, the hole will be safely hidden.

Option number 2.Using inserts

If the jeans are worn on both sides or the hole is large enough, then you can not hide such a problem with the help of the first option. Sew holes in this case with inserts.

To begin with, prepare the following material:

• Two colors: in the tone of the fabric and in the tone of the line.
• Cloth for inserts.

Remove the hole on the jeans as follows:

1. Place the inner seam about 20 cm and the central seam about 10-15 cm apart. If there are tears on both sides, remove both side seams( inside the seam).
2. Remove the threads and bring the gap in order, trim the edges, cut the protruding thread.
3. Carefully smooth out the damaged area, while unfolding the seams.
4. Insert the insert fabric to the hole and determine the dimensions. Do not forget to leave a stock of fabric on the seam.
5. Cut out the desired area.
6. Gently attach the insert to the trousers.
7. Strap the ripped parts of the trousers.

Important! If the jeans are worn on both sides, then for additional repair use the glue lining on the basis of knitwear. From the wrong side, place it in such a way that it goes over to the pants by about 2 cm. It is advisable to put the glue lining on the front side as well.

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