  • In this video you can see me trying the invisible mending technique to reapir a couple of crotch holes and tears with a household sewing machine and a darning foot. The result is great, I must say. With the blue jeans it really turned out quite nice. With the right tools and technique on your hands and a little practice you will confidently repair all our jeans!
    Go to our sewing blog for more details and information: madamsew.com/blogs/sewing-blo...
    With a darning foot, you can sew in any direction you want- backward, forward, sideways, diagonal, small or big stitches, and you can easily see what you are doing. The freedom is great, but it’s not easy peasy. So, if you are a newby, first practice on a scrap before attacking your favorite jeans.

    Thanks a lot. Some people think that "just buy new ones" but that's so wasteful in my view.

    This is a great tutorial! I've always had trouble making a decent-looking repair with my limited sewing skills and with your method I've already saved three pairs of pants that would've gotten thrown out. Thank you so much for posting!

    Yes! Thank you. I’m going to try this on two pair of jeans before the hole gets large.

    I’ve done this a few times for my husband and it’s worked really well. I’m excited to include the few tips I hadn’t thought of like fusible interfacing and looking at the tear through the light to check for thinning.

    I already do the stitching on mine but I've never thought about adding visible interface! House scrap denim but I think interface would be easier and perhaps sturdier. I'll be trying on the next pair I have to mend.

    I bought some jeans and it had a crotch tear it was like the fabric was extremely thin the tear is along the crotch seam such a weird place and I hadn't worn the pants yet I hope I can replicate this technique to repair them.

  • @robynnbryar1977
    @robynnbryar1977 Před rokem

    @MadamSew Do you think this technique in the repair video would work for mending cotton bedsheets? Or would all the stitching it be too rough feeling for bedsheets? If yes it would work, what thread would you recommend?

    • @MadamSew
      @MadamSew  Před rokem

      I haven't tried that yet, but I try it with a regular cotton or polyester thread (if the material is silkier, maybe embroidery thread), a regular needle, and a thin stabilizer. But, I'm also wondering, if it is a sheet, you would see and use it on both sides, so you would see the stabilizer side.. so maybe this is not the best technique for a sheet repair?

  • @wrheww
    @wrheww Před rokem

    What type of sewing machine is this/would you recommend for this type of repair?
    Trying not to break the bank
    I’m going to be trying this technique on my pants-I have sturdy thighs and that’s always the first area to wear out.

    • @MadamSew
      @MadamSew  Před rokem

      I'm using a regular sewing machine. If you use a sturdy needle, most machines can handle this kind of repair.

  • @Luna-ej4mi
    @Luna-ej4mi Před 2 lety

    I'm commenting on this before watching the whole video.
    So the tear is visible on the inside but invisible on the outside. It's like right on the hem, a 1cm hole. Will the technique work on that kind of tear?
    Sorry if I sound like I'm in a hurry, it's my favorite pair of jeans

    • @MadamSew
      @MadamSew  Před 2 lety

      Hi! I don't fully understand what your tear looks like but if you are using the technique from my video, you will see stitches on the outside. Isn't there a way to sew the hem back together, grabbing a little more fabric? I would reinforce the area around the hole with fusible interfacing before doing so.

    • @Luna-ej4mi
      @Luna-ej4mi Před 2 lety

      @@MadamSew Made a mistake witing this, and it was too late to fix it. The fabric tear is actually on the outside. Still on the hem though. Apologies

    I understand what you're doing, but if my jeans ever ripped like that, I'd throw them away and be on my way to the store to buy a new pair.
