What kind of gloves can you find today: knitted, suede, leather, with fur and even heated! There are an incredible variety of models, but they all have one thing in common: they always break at the most inopportune moment. However, this is not a reason to part with your favorite accessory. A good housewife knows that gloves can and should be repaired. And it’s not at all difficult to do.
How to sew knitted gloves
To repair knitted gloves, it is not necessary to use a sewing machine. A thin needle and a single thread matching the color of the product will be enough.
Seam restoration
If the product comes apart at the seam, you can use new blind seam.
- The first puncture with a needle is made from the wrong side so that the thread knot remains invisible. You should also step back a little from the edge of the hole so that in the future the fabric will not “crawl” in different directions again.
- We begin to make short stitches along the seam line alternately on each side of the product.
- First, we make a stitch parallel to the seam (no more than 2 mm) on one side and pull the thread through.
- Then repeat the same stitch on the other side.
IMPORTANT! The stitches on both sides should be the same size and run in a strictly straight line. Otherwise, the finished seam will turn out uneven.
Repair of knitwear on the finger
If the hole is formed not along the seam, but on the fabric itself, another option for a hidden seam will help you. As in the previous version stitches are made on both sides of the hole. But now they should be placed not parallel, but perpendicular to the break line.
Stepping back 1 mm from the hole, we make a small grip on the fabric with a needle. Pull out the thread and mirror the same stitch on the other side. This seam will be neat and barely noticeable.
How to repair leather gloves
Sew up the glove
Leather gloves can be repaired in two ways. The first is suitable for those who do not have a suitable piece of leather in stock. In this case the torn area on the glove should be glued to the fabric lining. And use a machine to sew a zigzag seam along the tear line on top..
IMPORTANT! The leather should be stitched very carefully! Make sure that the thread does not put too much tension on the product, otherwise the leather will soon burst again.
Gluing the patch
If you find a suitable piece of leather, you can seal the damaged area on the glove. To do this, cut the leather a little larger than the hole you want to hide.
IMPORTANT! To repair leather products, it is better to use transparent glue or adhesive gel. Such glue will not be visible, even if it leaks out.
After the glue has dried, all you have to do is make a neat zigzag stitch along the line of the leather patch.
This option for repairing leather gloves will be more accurate and reliable than the first.
