I never thought to use hand fusing tape repairing jeans with an ingenious idea! I also love the pinking shears you cut the pattern of the patch to fit the crotch . You are amazing! Thank you for your ideas !!!❤
Thank you!! My grandson just brought me a pair to mend. He spends a lot of money for his jeans so he knows I will try to save them. With your video I’m confident I can do a good job!
It looks like its still holding up well! It's very soft now after the washing. I asked him how he likes them and he doesn't even remember which ones were ripped. Though he doesn't look too hard at his jeans, so it's mostly by feel.
My daughter and I mended three pairs of jeans using Method #1. thank you for the tutorial! Also, for those of you who don't have chalk to make lines, we used a thin bar of soap.
Thank you for this video! I like the first way best, but I'm so impressed with the ingenuity behind the sewing ways! You are a Seamstress of top quality... And sharing your methods-you are so awesome. Thank you.
This is the fourth pair of work pants I've had to fix over two years. Hopefully I can fix them better after seeing this. I'm going to do the first one, I'm so glad I held onto the other jeans
These are such helpful tips!! So I think overall I liked the second way because I love the look of visible mending. BUT the first and last option looked the most natural which I appreciate and definitely see the value of! I want to try all 3 options! I have so many pants to repair
Hi, wonderful tutorial. I like 1 and 3 and have used a combination to patch large holes in my son’s jeans, but your work turned out much nicer, I have used fusible stretch nylon interfacing (secured with sewing) to repair/reinforce the inner thighs area of knit pants where they tend to wear out, as I hope it will be more comfortable.
Thank you so much for teaching us the right way of doing things! Thank you soo much for these beautiful videos.... And as of today I will have made $110 hemming few pairs of pants and fixing a crotch in Halloween costume! I have only been sewing for about 3 years so I'm still learning everything. Before I watched the video you made on hemming jeans I had no idea how to correctly hem a pair of pants for a paying customer. They absolutely loved the job I did, said it looked store bought!!! So thank you!!! couldn't have done it without you!! ❤❤❤
I love all your videos. You are great at explaining sewing tricks. I think I could do method 1 but I would love to try #3 and I think I will. Thank you!
All the vids of fixing jeans I've seen has used other jeans, but you saying I could use a t-shirt or something soft almost made me cry in relief. I have sensory issues and know putting thick denim seams down there would make me never wear the pants again. I love the look of the visible stitching too, I'm gonna try that! Thank you so much!!
Really good one! As my machine has darning option, which I’m only just beginning to utilize, I am going to give a pr of jeans the treatment you demonstrated a try this week, as I hv a or blown out, just as you’ve shown, as well as a pr w/ a hole right under the front zipper. I think it will work for both, & for knees! Will LUK how my results are. Thx much. Your vids are super helpful to me. An average home-sewer-who specializes in repairing vintage pieces. Thx much. 🌻🐝👍🏽☑️
I’ve used method one many times and think the method two would look lovely in a contrast color on non-crotch repairs. What stitch length would you recommend for method three? My worry is that too many small stitches would weaken the weave and too large a stitch would wear quickly. Many thanks for your great videos, I have learned so much!
Thank you so much for your kind words Kathryn! I love that idea. For method 3, you set the length of stitch at 0 but then you control it manually, I'd say that the ideal result would appear to be around length of stitch of 2.
The 3 ways are fab i use 1 and 3, i am definatley going to try 2 as i have a lot of jeans that need the crutch repairing from one client who is happy for me to do what ever way i think best, we have spoken about the visible mending that seems to be coming more popular lately so im excited to try this method. As always your videos are very informative, i always love to see anything new that you have uploaded, my skills always need a little tweeking and you are definatley the one to help with that thank you again.👍🧵🪡
Highly skilled people make it look so easy. Like for real, you are so good and make it look so easy! It's absolutely gives me inspiration to try, but I just can not say enough about how skilled you are. My pants patches are going to Improve so much! Thank you!
I have worn out so many pairs of jeans in this area ... most were in great shape everywhere else. Now I know how to fix them. I've been sewing for many, many years, but I never knew much about altering and repairs. I'm ready to learn ... and yuo have another subscriber. Thank you!
Thank you! The sashiko method would be super fun or if you didn’t have access to a machine for whatever reason! I’ll probably use the first patch method so I don’t have the interfacing on hand. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Method 1: 0:17 Method 2: 3:10 Method 3: 7:59 Method 2 works successfully for my man's working pants. Thank you, Ma'am for sharing various tips. You are life saver 😊
Wonderful tutorial your first date back! I have used variations of all 3 when mending my husband's farm jeans. Main difference being using a zig zag stitch to hold up to all the pulling. Thank you!
I liked all the patching techniques you did. Thanks for showing these different ways of patching! I just recently had a pair of jeans wear out above my knee. So excited to try out one of these. Just to decided which one, hmmmm.
I liked the first and the last. My son’s shorts aren’t denim so I’m actually using some of the pocket fabric that matches. I didn’t think of using some other stretch fabric and also the top layer is so worn.
Hi I personally liked the 1st and 3rd method. However, my favorite is the 3rd and I like your twist on it. I do something similar but will change my method and adapt one of your techniques. I appreciate your sharing. 0:12
Hello! I do enjoy these videos and use the techniques to try to improve my amateur sewing endeavours 🙂 Might you have a video about making a pattern from a favourite garment please? Any tips would be most welcome. Thank you 💜
Best video I've seen on the topic with awesome insights and tips! Never even knew what pinking scissors are for - have no one to teach me but the Internet.
I liked the third option Are any of these less comfortable for the wearer afterwards? As in stiff or rubbing against the skin where the extra fabric or stitching is? I loved options one and two. I don’t know if I can get dissolvable glue fabric here in my country
my goodness, this was such a great video, very useful. I liked the first and third example. never seen the second one done before, so that was interesting. TFS.
Love the way you explain everything!!! Your voice is very soothing also!! I’m so glad I found your channel!! Definitely got a new subscriber in me !! 🤩💗🤩
I do like the last way of fixing wear on jeans. I have a pair of Jeggings which after a few times of wear I noticed tiny holes where the back seam near the crotch area starting to show. I have already unpicked that area awhile ago and thats as far as I got lol! Have cut out some material to match the stretch of the jeans but then got thinking how do I do the seam so as its not too noticeable. Have watched heaps of your videos on fixing jeans on your site so I have a collection of them saved for when I next get time to sit and fix them. Thanks for you knowledge on how to do these repairs.
I like the first one and the third most 👏🤩. Thanks for sharing your methods. I'm always mending something for someone and so these 2 ways are definitely more efficient ways to get the job done. You have made it so much easier 💐👍💯
Ty so much. You are a wealth of knowledge! How much should I charge for fixing jeans like this. I like the first method. I also have a customer who has the legs ripped and wants them patched!
I like your first method the best - I will try it. My favourite pair of jeans are over 10 yrs old and have finally worn and split. They are so soft now that I am loathe to discard them as it takes so long for them to become so soft and smooth.
@@DowntownTailoring I fixed them this afternoon and they look great. Almost invisible when they're on. Luckily I had some pieces from some even older soft jeans in my stash that were a good match. Thank you, Professor
Hi I was looking through DIY videos and I came upon yours it was very useful. Thank you for that I was wondering if you can share what’s that gadget on your iron can you share thank you 👋🏻🙂
Hello, thank you so much for this video! I have a pair of strech jeans that are wearing out and id like to use method 1 or 3 but i fear that they will cause the jeans to loose their elasticity. Have you used either method on strech jeans before and had it work or does only the second method work?
Love this video, very useful. Can you use a machine when using jersey fabric ?, what is the recoomended stitch length when using both denim and jersey? thank yiu
Hi! For both jeans and jersey, I recommend around 2. Probably 1.9 for denim and 2.1 for jersey. But, individual results will come depending on other factors as well, like the weight and thickness of all the fabric involved. Cheers 🙂
Very good work. And I'm for sure going to be doing this to my jeans... Since my new faves already got the thigh rub and rip... Damn... But this changes the game now!
My favourite is number two, I like to se that clothes are hand mended. Colourful, creative or discreet. Nr one is easiest. I would use it on everyday jeans. Nr tree, you'r practically reweave the fabric, no wonder everybody wants is. And all methods are beautify done! Hope I can get there one day.🤩
I have used method no. 3 when the pants require strong support. In this way, I feel as though I put off a necessary re-do of the areas. I find it a repair that is strong & sturdy for the long haul. YAY!!!
you make it so easy to understand. ty so much!!!!! my hubs is 6'4" and very slim. He is impossible to buy clothes for. Hopefully you have helped me make his clothes easier to fix up! i mean it, he is all arms and legs lol.
Came here to learn how to do this for a couple pairs of pants and shorts I love. Fantastic job. Also decided that I should support my local seamstress because I don't have anywhere near the skill or materials to do this.
Hi. Hello. Howdy. I really like all three. It gives us different ways to sew the same way. Often it all depends on what I have on hand. Thank you. I really appreciate your gifts.
@@DowntownTailoring It worked brilliantly well!!! I never really used my embroidery foot as when I first tried it I was going all over the place, but your video gave me confidence to have another go. It took me a while to figure out how to hold the fabric right to move it in the right directions, but that got far easier the more I did and then it was really easy! I was worried that the thread I used was still a bit too light, but when he put them on you could hardly see it at all, it just looked like the rest of the other parts of his faded black jeans. I was very surprised how strong it was!!! I don't have that interfacing, I am not sure what one that is, so I just used a different woven one and that worked fine! I love this now I have done it and will definitely try it again, so easy now I have done one. Thank you so much 🤍❤❤
I like the third method best. I don’t have that kind of darning foot so I just use my regular food and go back and forth. Mine isn’t as neat as yours but is certainly serviceable. They are only for farm clothes anyways. I love your channel. I’m power watching to learn new things.
I prefer the machine darning method. I have done similar but yours is much nicer. The denim fabric I reinforced was thin (no tears). I did not use any type of interfacing or patch and I used zig-zag stitch. The darning mode on a machine makes a nicer looking and more flexible repair.
Love all your repair videos. Could #3 be used on a more stressed area, such as a knee, or would it be too weak? I know I would have to open up the jeans first (from watching one of your other videos of course!).
Hello, I don’t understand why you made the embroidery so visible on the outside. It could have been more discreet. Is there a reason for it? Also i would have used a lighter thread
I'm lazy so I used an iron on patch for the crotch area, and then just straight stitched the heck out of it. Worked really well, 2 out of 10 pairs fixed. And all I used was a cheap quik fix singer mending machine, so one doesn't really need an expensive machine. But next one's I fix will be on a old 1955 heavy duty singer, it'll be allot quicker.
I think this video changed my life. I can finally start to fix the pairs of jeans I couldn’t bring myself to throw away. Thanks so much!
Same here! Those crotch seam tears are so tricky to fix. I'm excited to try this!!
I never thought to use hand fusing tape repairing jeans with an ingenious idea! I also love the pinking shears you cut the pattern of the patch to fit the crotch . You are amazing! Thank you for your ideas !!!❤

Just did the 3rd method on my husband's jeans and it looks so good! Fingers crossed it holds up! Thank you so much for your help
Yesssss! Thanks for letting me know. It makes me so happy! Cheers 😊

Is it benifitial for long time ? Or not ?

Yes! Soap does the trick too! 🥰
smart thank you
You are an artist!
I am inspired by the quality of your repairs. Such attention to detail. I can't wait to try each one of these repair methods.
So glad I found you!! I had the concept but didn't take it far enough,making the work much harder. Thank you!

Love all your repair videos. Could #3 be used on a more stressed area, such as a knee, or would it be too weak? I know I would have to open up the jeans first (from watching one of your other videos of course!).
The crotch is usually weaker than the knees. You can go ahead. Just make sure to use a good thread. Cheers 🙂
@@DowntownTailoring Thank you!
is it better 100% cotton jean patch or some other velvet-like material? What are the options?
Bamboo or cotton knit, woven cotton, denim.... you can use your old T-shirts. Cheers 😊
Hello, I don’t understand why you made the embroidery so visible on the outside. It could have been more discreet. Is there a reason for it? Also i would have used a lighter thread
Merci pour ces astuces!!! Bien a vous🙂

Wow, impressive. Thanks for the tips and insight!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I done my first pair today
Bit of trial and error but I got there!
Yesssss!!!
What kind of thread do you use? Is any kind ok to use as long as it matches color?
Cotton thread are better for the last repair. Cheers 🙂
Those are brilliant fixes!
Glad you like them! 🥰🥰🥰
I've never tried the third, I think I will give it a go!
Yes! Let me know how it goes :))
Which repair lasts the longest?
method #1 with satin/silk fabric on the inside so the thighs rub against slipper material and not the rough denim causing another hole
Thankyou for another fabulous tutorial.
It’s my pleasure Anna! :))
I usually do the T short one but it’s also cause the jeans that I have had to mend the most are the ones that are stretchy
I'm lazy so I used an iron on patch for the crotch area, and then just straight stitched the heck out of it. Worked really well, 2 out of 10 pairs fixed.
And all I used was a cheap quik fix singer mending machine, so one doesn't really need an expensive machine. But next one's I fix will be on a old 1955 heavy duty singer, it'll be allot quicker.
This is not lazy, this is smart. Gluing and stitching is the most practical way! Good luck with your new machine.
