Where jeans can rip often

Most often, scuffs, holes are formed:
- on your knees;
- between the legs;
- on the front pockets with the edge;
- on the legs along the lower edge.
Holes in the knees of the trousers have long looked familiar. And clothes that have rubbed between the legs are thrown away or a patch is placed on it / restored in a different way.

So, the task is important - how to repair the jeans that are frayed between the legs, beautifully seal the hole?
NOTE! This can be done either manually or using a sewing machine. There are many life hacks.
For sewing work in the first way, you need:
- needles;
- patch material;
- threads.
Dressmakers recommend acting with household needles sold in a set. For manual fabric repairs, Nos. 14 and 11 are required.
You should also choose thicker threads: a suitable option is cotton - from No. 50 to No. 80 or synthetic - from No. 50 to No. 60.
In addition, when choosing the material and threads for the patch, you should take into account the nuances of color: the fabric and threads must be selected with a torn or worn thing in tone to tone.
You can also use a sewing machine to fix flaws on your trousers yourself.
Large holes are patched, light abrasions are plastered.
If the threads stick out, it is recommended to remove them, since the stitching on the fabric will not look pretty.
Darning is done by turning the pants inside out: each seam should look neat. After the fabric is sewn, it is ironed out.
When the hole is small and longitudinal, not torn along the edges, it can be sewn up with a buttonhole seam. Craftswomen also use other seams (a popular technique is "forward the needle").
When it is important to sew a hole in your denim trousers between the legs, you should “strengthen” it before the darning process. Otherwise, the abrasion may "creep away" and become larger.

Gizmo
When an inconspicuous connection of the material is required, plastering is used. This variation of repair is suitable when jeans are cut with something sharp, torn against a nail and must be repaired by hand.
There are several ways to fix different types of damage:
- imposition of stitches - horizontal, diagonal, vertical;
- plastering dense material from the front side to the wrong side, without piercing it through;
- tight seams over the edges stitched together.
Care is important when working with a typewriter.
NOTE! It is important not to sew unnecessary things: a pocket or other details. Most likely, the product will not be damaged, but it will take a long time to open the seam made on a typewriter.
Blind seam
Invisible restoration of jeans is done by stitching them with a blind stitch. This method works well when the legs are ripped open where there is stitching.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION! With the help of a blind seam, the damage is completely eliminated: no traces of repair are visible.
Darn
With this repair technique, worn jeans are replaced with new ones. Why darning is performed along the worn area.
IMPORTANT! If there are factory threads left on the material, then the needle should be passed first under them, then over.
After finishing the row, the needle is threaded over the whole part of the fabric through several threads from the end. In this case, the indents from the edges of the torn matter should be minimal and fix it well. The treated area will become unobtrusive, and the jeans will no longer "disperse".
Each thread must match:
- shade;
- texture;
- density.
The best way out is to take the threads from the closed trousers (use the lower part of the thing for this).
It is usually easier to darn denim pants between the legs by machine than by hand.
Also, such restoration work is more durable.
How to make a patch
The fabric will not creep if the patch is placed on the wrong side. Dressmakers cut a piece of material of a similar shade (for example, the fabric of any old denim thing is suitable). Horizontally, several cuts are made on it, identical in size to the hole to be closed.
Then the longitudinal threads are carefully pulled. When the holes coincide, you should retreat 1 cm from each side, then cut out the patch. Next, the workpiece is placed under the hole. Now it remains to sew the blank with small neat stitches. In this case, the color of the threads is matched to the jeans.
Now the answer to the question is known - how to sew jeans between the legs imperceptibly by hand and on a typewriter. Craftswomen do not recommend getting rid of denim trousers, because you can repair a hole in just half an hour.
