Sometimes, various damages appear on your favorite jeans in the process of wearing. These can be cuts, abrasions, holes and other troubles. You should not immediately throw away the spoiled item. Some of these things can still be completely recovered.
It is necessary
- - jeans;
- - adhesive interlining;
- - trouser tape;
- - threads to match;
- - scissors;
- - sewing machine
Instructions
Step 1
To mend a cut, scuff, etc. on jeans, turn them inside out. Lay them out on the ironing board in such a way that the damaged area is aligned on the fabric without deformation. Align the edges of the slots. Lay the fabric around the scuffs evenly, without folds and displacement. On top of the prepared jeans surface, place the non-woven fabric with the glue side inside and iron it with a hot iron. At the same time, in order to avoid displacement of the fabric, it can be fixed with safety pins.
Step 2
Turn the jeans right over. Sew on the sewing machine with a zigzag stitch on the non-woven section of the jeans at the point of damage. Adjust the zigzag stitch so that it covers both sides of the notch (or thread ripple due to fraying).
Step 3
Sew the non-woven section of the jeans diagonally with a straight stitch. Then, without removing the needle from the fabric, raise the sewing machine foot and turn the work in the opposite direction. Step back 1 to 2 millimeters from the previous stitch and sew a straight stitch parallel to the previous one, unfold the work, and similarly sew another stitch.
Step 4
Fill in the entire damaged area on the jeans with straight machine stitches, limiting it to the size of the adhesive interlining that secures the wrong side. Try to make the lines parallel to each other. In a similar way, it is good to mend damage on any part of the jeans.
Step 5
If the bottom edge of the trousers has worn out over time, they can also be restored. To do this, carefully cut off the cuff (hem). Sew a trouser tape to the edge on a sewing machine. Unscrew it to the wrong side, leaving 1-2 millimeters of linen peeking out from the front side. This protrusion will prevent the jeans from being worn again. Iron the resulting lapel with a hot iron. Sew it on a typewriter.
