Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to show you this rare gem of an alteration that I received to do invisible mending on a pair of vintage pants. I am very proud of the results and the customer loved it! If you find this video useful, please don't forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe! I am so grateful for your support.

I like this because not only did you patch it with the same material, but you stopped the hole from getting bigger, and you can barely tell it's patched. 10/10.

When I was a kid (after the WWII) men's suit was very precious and damaged material was very often repaired by specialist artisan called "art patcher". They used treads of a damaged material taken from inside and waved them over hole imitating the original waving. It was very precise and took a lot of time to be done, but it was almost invisible. For us kids it was a real magic. This kind of repair was very expensive but was only way to save suit.

You’re amazing. My beautiful darling Mother was a trained Taylor from the Athens Academy in Greece. She was a natural talent but studied to have her credentials. Her work book was amazing. A treasure! There was nothing she could not fix, mend, repair, knit, crochet. She had such an innovative, engineering genius mind, immediately working out the best way to do the job. Her customers, would inspect their garments and wonder where, how she did it! She loved surprising them…..we loved it too! I miss her so very much 😢

Have you ever considered scanning in her work book and sharing it online? Although maybe there is some personal stuff in there and maybe you wouldn't want to do that, but I'm just asking since sharing her legacy and knowledge would be another nice way for her to live on in other people's works. (I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad to hear she had made such an impact on so many people's lives).

When our son was 4 he was ring-bearer in a bridal party. I had to make his little suit. It was out of very expensive grey wool. After the wedding, he was wearing this suit to a different event and he tore a small hole in the pants. I took it to an oriental tailor shop and they did this technique (at the time I had no idea how they did it). I couldn't believe it, it really was invisible! I asked the girl how they did it ... she just laughed 😆😆 ... now I know why!

Great job! You reminded me how my father saved his friend's wedding suit, 60 years ago. The tailor forgot the iron on the trousers and the burnt hole was huge and the wedding had to be tomorrow! My father used the same technique and saved his friend's wedding, maybe even his life. He was mending it the whole night and the result was fascinating. Nobody noticed the damage.

Thanks so much for this! My husband tore his nice suit pants in a fall and I didn't think I could patch them without making it look worse or making him look homeless!!! LOL Gave this technique a try and while I wouldn't say it's perfect - especially if looking with a magnifier close up, but when he wears them it is not noticeable and even I have to look hard and I know where it is! So i would say it's a win!! definitely was better than any other option. And it was fun to try something new! Your video was great - more helpful than others I saw. Really appreciated the closeup views and instructional tips.Thanks so much!

I am quite expert at repairing knits. I once had to unravel a pocket of handspun alpaca. Then the yarn was too soft and weak to re-stitch so I had to spin it more densely before I could sew new stitches. I have known there was a method like this to repair good wool but never could figure out how it was done. You are generous to share.

I told him if he wanted such a waste to be mended he could do it himself. I'm all for mending your clothes if possible and con tinue to use them as much as possible but some things just gotta go to "clothes heaven" 😂😂😂😂😂.

Lol, my Dad had a shirt Mom had repaired, but it kept getting holes and he kept wearing it. Finally, my Mom put it in the rag bin for polishing furniture. A month later, Mom woke up to Dad wearing it while working in the garden. This time she cut it into pieces before putting it in the rag bin again. And yes, we had already used it for polishing before he wore it that last time.

That's a very neat and interesting technique. I had to mend a woven wool fabric recently and used long threads taken from a large hem. But I did it thread by thread and it was incredibly long and boring. The result was fine enough, but your way is definitely better ! I like the double loop needle threading technique a lot. That's going to be a real timesaver

When I was growing up in southern California in the late 1950s/early 1960s my parents met a handicapped lady at church. I think she was from Mexico as she had an accent and taught me some Spanish. She had a small shop front on a busy street and lived in the back. She did this kind of repair work and called it 'French Weaving". She had two ways of doing it and would tell the customer that one way was less cost, but you would see the repair; the second way was more expensive, but it would be invisible. I remember that she would wear a magnifier on her head while doing this. She had a good business and was able to support herself. I have never seen another business that does this. So nice to see someone doing this time -consuming, beautiful work!😊

I will probably have to watch the thread loop part 10 more times (I am a beginner to early intermediate sewer). This is fantastic! I have a pair of wool pants I have been saving to upcycle repurpose. They have been saved this long. There is no harm in trying now! Thank you for posting a really interesting video.

I have patched a knee of some suit pants and a hole in a coat with this method. The coat was done before I had ever seen a demonstration. Basically I made it up. I didn’t think of a loop on a thread, so I carefully threaded every single fray onto my needle. But I was so proud of the fix! Your video added extra things I will think about in the future. The grain and the pocket fabric but probably not the basting. I loved you basted the interfacing too!

Gorgeous. It's so time consuming, and the taylor must be so experienced, that to have it done to your clothes you'd end up spending more than buying new clothes nowadays (unless you can do it yourself...). I remember my grandmother had it done to a pair of my grandfather trousers, but it was a different era, all clothes were of a superior quality, they were meant to last a lifetime, buying new ones would have surely cost much much more. And even back then in my area there was a cloister of nuns, renowned for being the only ones able to do such a thing. I remember the whole family looked with awe at the results of such perfect handiwork. You couldn't tell were they patched.

I have done this on knit fabrics with a knit picker tool. And on a few linen skirts and flannel sheets. Get a hold of any ww2 era and back sewing book and this method is in it. It's shown for long skinny tears, L shaped annoying tears, and just outright holes. Sometimes it says it just needs to become part of a quilt. 😂I learned to sew from a book called the New Encyclopedia of Modern Sewing and it's from 1946. It's a very beginner book but nothing like the slow product based books of today. These style books really get you through with just basic tools and not a lot of extra work to compensate for it. I found it on thriftbooks. There were clippings from magazines and newspapers in the cover and covering some of the preface pages about upholstery furnishings from the prior owner, which I absolutely adore.😊 But the entire book is heavily into make, mend, do and mans suits are prime real estate for everything. It helped me with my upcycle habit. Immensely. How to really source fabric from garments and not just chop and replace Frankenstein style. Not everyone is into that look. Some of us just want luxury fabrics on a thrift shop budget.. 😂💚But I highly recommend. This is the perfect visual for this method of reweaving.
