Patch your Jeans..You can do it yourself (DIY)

 

How can you patch your jeans? Simple..Just follow the steps and your jeans will be ready for you to wear. Good luck trying..

Step 1

Make repairs to denim before the rip, tear or hole becomes too large or the edges become too frayed. Patches can be applied as reinforcement to high-stress areas before worn spots turn into holes.

Step2

Cut any loose threads from the edges of the rip, tear or hole.

Step3

Use the zigzag setting on your sewing machine to make a satin stitch along the length of a very clean cut or tear. This option is a good one if appearance is not important. See "How to Sew a Satin Stitch," under Related eHows, for instructions.

Step4

Position an iron-on denim patch on the underside of the fabric. The patch should be large enough to completely cover the damaged area. Press the patch with an iron to fuse it to the fabric.

Step5

Look for products that let you fuse your own fabric patch to the damaged area. With these products, a denim patch is cut from similar fabric. The patch is then fused to the fabric via a liquid or powdered substance and an iron.

Step6

Use liquid and powdered substances for a stronger bond than that provided by an iron-on patch.

Step7

Use decorative patches to cover very large holes. Hand- or machine sew them into place on the right side of the garment.
