How to properly sew up a hole in the pocket of your favorite jeans?
It is worth sewing up holes with a special and even creative approach. These could be linings, some bright appliqués or exclusive embroidery and much more.
And the most important thing is that each work has a special approach. It all depends on the size of the scuff or hole and its location.
If there is a hole under your pocket
Very often there are such holes under pockets or near pockets. But how can the work be done professionally and, most importantly, unnoticed? There is a little secret that is being revealed right now.
Materials and tools
To work, you will need a special tool that will help open the seams.Then a piece of denim to match the jeans themselves and specifically the area with the hole. And also threads that match the color. Web for connecting the inner lining.
If it is not possible to use denim for the inner lining or it will get in the way, you can use a simple thin and very dense fabric. For example, calico or chintz.
Stages of work
Patterns
First you need to inspect the place with the hole. You will need to rip the pocket open to the corner where the hole is. Then apply the lining fabric and mark the area to be repaired on it. It is always necessary to take with a small margin, approximately 1-1.5 cm from the edge.
Lining installation
A small adhesive web will help secure the lining.
Line
We fixed everything and turned the work right side out. All seams will need to be done from the front side.
Important! Use thread that exactly matches the fabric of the jeans.
Another important point in this skill is that it is better to make stitches of the same length, as on the canvas itself. Therefore, practice on a sewing machine for a short period of time in advance and calculate the required seam for the job. Often, new type machines have a number of stitches that simply differ in stitch length.
Lay the same lines in the direction of the shared threads. Next, you can return the pocket to its place and sew it on in the steaming areas.
Hole in the pocket itself
Many pockets of even store-bought jeans are decorated with different elements. So why not take advantage of such a wonderful moment when sewing your favorite pants? You can show your imagination in repairing. Then there are a couple of examples of how you can do it yourself.
Here hand stitches are used in the direction of the grain threads.
Types of hole decor on jeans
Among all the techniques, the most popular is decor with a bright print lining. Looks very nice.
Doing this kind of work is quite simple. Initially, cut out the required dimensions on the bright fabric so that there is a small allowance of about 2 cm from each edge. Sew carefully from the wrong side or just glue it in. Next, you can carefully secure the part on the front side or with special designer stitches.
Embroidery
Embroidery remains no less popular. In fact, many fashionistas find it very fashionable to have something with embroidery.
Why not do this on your jeans?
It turns out not only to hide old scuffs and holes, but also to make them brighter.
Application
An original appliqué can turn simple, old and worn jeans into the most striking item in your wardrobe.
