How To Repair Ripped Jeans 3 Ways

[@iluvzevon]

Such a helpful video - the most sustainable thing is to repair your clothing instead of buying new clothes! love this!

[@alinam5092]

Yes! I hate when I stain or tear (small holes) almost new clothes and I can no longer wear them just because of a small damaged area, very useful video.

I didn't knew it, but I've been waiting years for this video! ✨jeans magic✨

[@shisah5544]

As a Muslim girl this is so useful!! I love the whole ripped jean look but haven’t been able to wear them in a modest way- I had no idea iron-on denim was a thing!!! Thank you so much ❤️

[@FiMilton]

You can also make any fabric iron on with heat bond and experiment with fun patterns and colors behind the holes! 💕

[@averilt]

if you can't find any iron on denim, I would think a matching fabric and some fabric glue could work too?

[@spiceandmice9135]

as another option if denim patches aren't around, you could get double-sided fusible interfacing at a fabric store (if I did this, I would cut the interfacing in a donut, so that the ripped part did not touch the interfacing, then sandwich it between the denim and the patch, then iron, but you could just do the sandwich without cutting a hole in the interfacing). There are also ways to do invisible (on the outside) stitches, or you could try fabric glue spread (very!) thin.

[@Chester0the0Jester]

Thank you for that simple instruction on how to ladder stitch! I just fixed a tear in my husband's jeans thanks to that and I feel so proud of myself for accomplishing it! This was the highlight of my day, thank you! 😊

[@marciekravitz7667]

Thank you so much for this content, I can't wait to try and fix the straight tear in my daughters FAVORITE jeans with your simplified instruction. This mama, with no sewing experience, is excited and confident from your video! Have a lovely day!

[@JayofallTrades]

Sadly my jeans rip in a very awkward place and I've actually patched them up but having a big patch at your thighs area is not very flattering

[@arachnidheist]

I was hoping for help with this same issue!

[@RedHead94100]

I know this isn't very helpful afterwards lol but when I realize that I'm wearing a certain pair of jeans a lot I immediately use iron on patches on the inner thighs. You can also do this when you first notice the material thinning before a hole forms!

[@TheLadyMoniqe]

Using a patch of fabric similar to the colour of the jeans on the inside and sewing over it in all directions with a jean-coloured thread works for me. You can look up how to darn jeans on YT. I also find that jeans with a topstitch on the inner seam last longer. In the end, the holes on the inner thigh are kind of inevitable so I just try to buy decent quality jeans and not wear them when I'm at home. And if they rip, darning lets me wear them for a little while longer, I just have to be more careful about not ripping them.

[@TheWeirdjudd]

Visible mending and turn it into a feature!

[@1485Becks]

@@TheWeirdjudd not on the inner thigh area buddy, it's not gonna look cute, it'll add bulk to where your thighs are already touching, and all round not a cute look to have patches just in your inner thigh area!!

[@liveitupalltheway]

Enjoying this quick short informational videos! Fun change of pace :) also keeps us watching something while we wait for more making home 😆

[@juliagraph]

My jeans always rip on the inside do the legs. My thighs are just too powerful!

[@lifexfashionxbeauty]

Same! But before it rips (like when it's fraying or even little holes) the ladder stitch actually works for the thighs! I just tried it out :-)

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Same. Mine never last a year

[@madeinussr7551]

​@@lifexfashionxbeautytoo late lol I was on meds and gained weight-- didnt notice and now there is a hole. Ill try to stitch and patch. Ugh Those are nice brand ( 120) so dont want to my throw out

[@rebekahjenkins5429]

So helpful! I used the ladder stitch to fix the sleeve of winter coat. Can't even tell it's been repaired. Thank you for your easy explanation.

[@PessimistPirate]

Thank you. I'm getting more into this; such a useful hobby.

[@shinn3003]

I can't tell you how happy I am rn , I had a minor accident and tore one of my fav jeans and i can finally fix it ,it sounds silly but means a lot to me

[@GetUrPhil]

I'm not good at sewing but have been taught how to sew when I was just a kid but didn't know or maybe don't remember or wasn't shown the ladder stitch. I like it. Thanks.

[@cromwellmichaela]

Thank you for teaching me how to save my jeans. Excellent video.

[@wendyburgess1880]

Thank you thank you thank. My 15 year old granddaughter has been nagging me to fix her favourite ripped jeans for months. Now I know how to do it. I've subscribed to your channel. I'm a fan 👍💃

[@sapphirewarrior]

I repair and alter clothes for a living. What I do if use iron on interfacing on the back, rounded corners. (Like the first one here) I like to make it past the hole at least a half inch around to prevent further ripping. Then I darn the good side with a sewing machine. I blend in the stitches with an exact colour match. (Always go darker rather than lighter if no exact match.) I make sure the lines of stitching are long enough to go past the interfacing a little to prevent lifting. The results are pretty good. All these methods listed are good for a no machine fix. But if you have one, I suggest trying this way as it prevents bulk, but keeps it strong.

[@melsterifficmama1808]

This is the most helpful video I've seen in quite a while.

[@ricbradley5323]

I literally have 5 pairs of jeans with holes. I guess I need needle and thread and patches. I really appreciate your advice. You are helping us single losers answer some problems we couldn't figure out without you.

[@cmcgee66]

You are awesome! I learned so much from watching this video. No need to throw out my torn jeans!

[@snakonec]

Last week I straight-up ripped the biggest hole in the bum of my favourite (basically only) pair of jeans. I’ve been devastated. I feel like this video was made for me. Can’t wait to fix them!

[@chantellel9153]

Im so happy that you made this video!! The hole on the knee in my favourite jean has torn all the way through and i cant find this exact jean anymore. Thank you!!

[@markpreiss8584]

Thanks for the video. I used the first method you showed with the ladder stitch to fix two pairs of jeans. I don’t sew, ever, and this was helpful.

[@gusmartinez6512]

THANK YOU!!!! I've got 4 pairs of still-good jeans that I just need to repair the knees' worn holes instead of going out & jean shopping, and this has me fired up to do that. Lol ironically I came across more than one clip where the aim is to create holes in your jeans, and I'm over here trying to go the other way.

[@janetwalker3541]

Love your iron Kelsey! Great to see you do some cool stitching! That's what I did back in the 70's and also alot of patching for my son when he was little in the 90's! For your last repair to reinforce it, you could do a button hole stitch all around the big hole. It will keep it stronger and from fraying less and coming apart again!😀💖👖

You could also keep going on that last repair by weaving thread vertically through those horizontal threads.

[@tc3imagery]

Awesome video, thanks! Couple questions: On method number two, when putting the cardboard on the other side of the hole so the iron on won’t stick to the jeans, doesn’t it stick to the cardboard, and wouldn’t that make it hard to peel that cardboard off? Last time I had iron on patches on my jeans, as a kid decades ago, they always wore really uncomfortably, and would peel off overtime. Are modern iron on patches more comfortable and stay on longer? Thanks!

[@tamdev9276]

That is indeed what happened to me. 😭 The card got suck and it was a real pain to fix it. Also recreating those threads was a bad idea. In one case I used the iron-on-patch directly on the hole, wihtout cutting away any threads, and that was a way better idea.

[@tedc7533]
