Innovative Jeans Patch: Decorative Thread Technique *fascinating*

Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to show you a non-conventional jeans patch idea that I thought you would find very interesting! I also added some decorative and functional embroidery for more sewing inspiration! I also made a really short "shorts" video showing how I did this technique but using golden thread:

WHICH AMAZED ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW SHE NOTICED WHAT I WAS DOING OR THAT SHE COULD EVEN KNEW HOW TO FORM THE THOUGHT TO ASK ABOUT IT. THEN MY SON CAME ALONG AND ROUGH!!!!ON JEANS KNEES!!!

@@lynnharrell9598 or wear jeans until the knees wear out. It happens naturally for free.

[@almanirvana8790]

no need to cut up your jeans for this, just use a file and file ur knees, it wil look the same. or make a little cut, and pull out all vertical threads, the horizontal ones will stay, which gives this effect

just put interfacing on it when u done :)

I recently did my sister in laws Jean's that had same kinda knee and leg holes from the fraying coming apart, I took jean sides apart like you did and I sewed in a few pieces of leggings that I cut up, it came out amazing and beautiful looking. She absolutely loved that I saved 2 of her favorite jeans!! I used leggings because it was strong enough for jean patchto sew and works extremely well with stretchy jeans too!

[@DowntownTailoring]

That's amazing. When I do patches for myself, I use very often T-shirts material. I like more the feeling. I use it too for my customers when they are looking for a softer patch and jeans when they prefer a stronger one! Thanks for your comment 😊

[@guadalupegonzalez9132]

What an amazing sister in law you are!!👏👏

[@elizabethg2715]

@@guadalupegonzalez9132 Thank you very much!! I've gotten a little bit of business from it too!! My sister in law owns a hair salon, few clients of hers noticed her Jean's and she told them how I saved them especially when they were her favorite pairs and fit her so well and comfortable for long days of work. So she sent them to me for there pants, Ive done about 21 pairs of jeans an So many women are beyond happy to Save a great pair of pants especially when they fit prefectly!! I've done few pairs of my own pairs with bright and colorful old leggings and I get so many compliments on were did I buy those. People are always surprised when I say I made them myself!! Love saving clothes or fabrics for better or longer use!! Have great day and take care!💗💗
