Every person likes to wear clean and neat clothes, but not everyone likes to take care of them. But proper care helps to extend the life of things, and therefore reduce the cost of purchasing new things. The rules are usual: washing things no more often than they require, and timely repairs.

Why throw it away good thing, which can last more than one season? Most often, defects that appear on clothing can be eliminated on your own. Today, few people remember that clothes can be mended or patched. But today patches are in trend.

Let's consider possible options with patches that allow you to tidy up your jeans. These methods will be available even to a novice needlewoman.

Jeans tend to fray or tear in the most different places, which means that the technology of work will change. If you sew a patch on the knee, it will be noticeable even if done very carefully, but patches on jeans between the legs can be placed so that no one will notice.

For the highest quality work, it is best to sew the patch on with a sewing machine. It allows you to carefully and without problems sew up holes along the seams of the product, which is very convenient. With the same care, you can put a patch on jeans by hand. You can make it barely noticeable, or you can do the work so that it clearly catches your eye.

Kinds

First of all, you need to understand how to make a patch on jeans, what types of patches there are, what are the differences and advantages of each of them. Let's start in order.

• Double-sided - used to restore jeans, sleeves, abrasions on knees and elbows. Consists of two parts of the same shape, but different sizes. At the first stage, it is necessary to sew an element with smaller dimensions on the wrong side of the problem area. At the second stage, the part is placed on the front side bigger size. The seam can be made by hand, since if it is done on a sewing machine, it will be noticeable.
• Set-in - a more decorative option, can be of any shape. Using such patches, you can decorate not only places on the sleeves or knees, but also patch the front part of the product. With the help of such elements, some creatives restore the areas between the legs on jeans. And if you add similar appliqués to the trouser legs, it may turn out interesting option.
• An invoice is not a very reliable type of work, but it is the simplest. If the work is done correctly, such an element will be almost invisible, but in terms of its service life it will not last long. The work consists of sewing a suitable flap from the front side to the surface of the product using a hidden seam.

Patches

Most often, there is no desire to part with your favorite jeans, even when scuffs or holes begin to show through. But with the help of patches you can extend the life of your favorite thing.

How to patch up holes in places where they are especially inappropriate? Most often, the first abrasions and holes in jeans appear between the legs. A carefully executed patch on jeans will make it possible to extend their service life. We offer one of the methods for such repairs.

How to make a patch between the legs of jeans by hand

What should be the patch on jeans between the legs? If there are no separate fabric samples that match the color of the jeans, you can select a patch that matches the color or texture and do the following:

• First of all, it is necessary to cut off the protruding threads from the edges of the hole.
• Then process its edges manually along the entire perimeter with frequent stitches. This will prevent the fabric from fraying.
• Now you need to decide on the size of the patch so that it can completely hide the hole.
• Secure the patch using safety pins. When performing work, you need to ensure that there are no creases or waves.
• Use a needle to grab the patch on several sides with several stitches to secure it.
• Stepping back about 3 mm from the edge, sew the patch with small stitches (no more than 3 mm).
• Make a tight knot on the last stitch to secure the sewing.
• When finished, you can strengthen the hole itself to the middle of the patch, pressing it tightly against the jeans themselves.
• The seams should not be tight, without creases or hard protruding seams.

How to make a knee patch

It is not uncommon for holes to appear in the knee area. This is especially true for children. But buying them new trousers every time is a complete waste, so knee patches on jeans will come to the rescue. Such patches can be made unnoticeable, or, on the contrary, repairs can be made so that it becomes stylish decorative element.

Let's consider the second option in more detail.

• First you need to prepare a piece of fabric in a contrasting shade. You can cut such a piece from an item that no one will probably wear anymore, and decide what shape and size the patch on the jeans will be.
• If you are still new to this business, then it is better to first prepare a pattern from paper and then transfer it to fabric.
• Fold the patch over the edges and baste.
• Iron around the perimeter with a hot iron.
• Now, using neat stitches, you need to sew the patch to the trouser leg by hand or do this work on a sewing machine.
• If desired, a similar patch can be made on the second leg.
• After work, it is best to wash your jeans and let them dry naturally.

It is not always possible to choose denim that matches the color of your trousers. And you don’t always want to waste your time buying these few centimeters. Many needlewomen managed to get out of this situation using different variants patch.

Native fabric

The most in a simple way is a patch on jeans made of fabric that matches the color and texture. In order not to go to the store for fabric, you can use a fragment cut from the trousers themselves. This place is under the back pockets.

In place of the cut out fragment, you can hem another dense fabric, since it will not be visible anyway. You just need to choose a dense material and carefully plaster the jeans on the wrong side.

Adhesive fabric

It has another name - “cobweb”. The material is good when working with abrasions rather than through holes. To do this, a section of the jeans is steamed and a “cobweb” is glued using an iron. After which it is recommended to sew the resulting result with a zigzag seam on a sewing machine, having previously selected threads to match the color of the product. In some cases, after washing, the patches may come off, sometimes along with this area of ​​the jeans.

At the peak of popularity for several years now ripped jeans. And jeans decorated with decorated patches can look especially feminine and elegant. True, we should not forget that the riot of imagination must still border on common sense.

• For creating an easy“worn” trousers in the area of ​​the hole, carefully pull out a couple of threads so that the edges look slightly frayed.
• Another option is the possibility of using lace to patch holes. It will look stylish not only on women's jeans, but also for children.
• For a glamorous shine, you can use a scattering of rhinestones or beads. You can make repairs in the form of ornate patterns across the entire surface of the legs or make a patch on the jeans between the pockets or along the bottom of the trousers. In such an outfit it is difficult to remain unnoticed.

As already said, the patch can be viewed not only from the practical side. The designer’s vivid fantasies can also be expressed in the decor of children’s things. Let's present some solutions that can be original and funny:

• You can make interesting children's applications ( ready-made options can be purchased in specialized stores).
• One large patch can be replaced with several small ones (using scraps of fabric or leather, which are also sold in stores).
• You can close small holes with neat embroidery using beads or sequins.

Everyone knows how to put a patch on jeans, but not everyone believes in the success of their needlework. In fact, such work does not take much time. And the appliques offered in the store are generally easy to glue with an iron.

These patches can also be used to close rips in jeans. Decorating rough jeans with lace inserts looks especially impressive. For this purpose, you need to prepare the guipure you like; it can be any color your imagination desires. Lace inserts are designed in the same way as regular patches on the reverse side. You can make a small fringe along the edges of the hole.

The peculiarity of the weaving of threads in denim allows you to make the patch on the jeans almost invisible. With a high-quality patch, your favorite trousers can last for many more months.

Most often, holes in trousers appear in case of mechanical damage or due to friction during use. But sometimes you don’t want to part with your favorite thing. To make it last a long time, they use patches, the role of which is not only to eliminate holes or any abrasions, but also to decorate things, giving them a more original look. Moreover, it is not difficult to do; even a beginner can do it.

Your favorite item still fits, but the small hole doesn’t allow you to put it on. Do you really have to throw it away? There's no need to rush. Put on the patch and wear it for yourself. Today I will tell you how to install a patch.

Patches are different. According to their purpose, I divide them into functional and decorative. Functional patches are placed to hide something on clothing. For example, a hole or stain. And decorative patches are a decorative element. It is clear that a patch can be both functional and decorative at the same time. And depending on which side of the product it is placed on, the patch can be internal or external. Before installing a patch, decide why you need it. The choice of materials used depends on this. For internal functional patches, it is better to use the same material as the product itself. As a last resort, you can use fabrics that are closest in texture and color. For decorative patches, on the contrary, you can use fabrics that are contrasting in color and even fabrics of a different texture. In sewing and craft stores you can buy patches or ready-made patches for clothing. They can also be used as patches. A hot-melt adhesive layer has already been applied to the reverse side.

If you decide to use scraps of fabric for a patch, it is best to pre-wash them. During the washing process, the fabric usually shrinks, which means that in the finished patch it will not tighten the fabric of the product. The patch should hide a hole or stain, which means it should be larger in size than what it hides. Determine the shape of the patch and carefully cut with scissors. I suggest cutting out the second part in exactly the same shape from thin fabric. We pin two shapes together with pins and stitch along the contour, leaving a small area unstitched. We make notches on the curves and cut out the corners. Turn it right side out. Now you need to iron the patch with an iron and baste it onto the product in the right place. Now carefully sew the patch on, making a seam at a distance of 1 mm from the edge. Remove the basting and iron it with an iron. This method allows you to get sharp corners and even curves. The patch will look neat.

The patch can not only be sewn, but also glued. Sewing and handicraft stores sell gossamer - hot-melt adhesive tape. On the front side of the product, place the web in the shape of your patch, then the patch. Cover with an ironing cloth or any thin cloth pre-moistened in water and press with a hot iron for approximately 15 seconds. Instead of cobwebs, you can use BF-6 glue or a raw egg. Apply glue or loose raw egg the wrong side of the patch. Place the patch over the hole, cover with a damp cloth and press with a hot iron.

To make an internal patch, you need to use sharp scissors to give the hole the required shape. For a decorative patch it can be a flower, fish or heart. If you want the patch to be invisible, then it is best to shape the hole into a square or triangle. We cut out the patch in the same shape, but a little larger in size. We put the patch under the hole and baste it. We bend the edges of the hole on the front side and sew them to the patch with small stitches. Then we also bend the edges of the patch and sew with small stitches on the wrong side. Now you can pull out the basting and iron the patch.

To make the patch less noticeable, you can glue it. Shape the hole into a square, oval or triangle. Give the same shape to the patch. The size should also match the size of the hole. Cut out a piece of satin. It should be 2 cm larger than the hole on all sides. We spread a piece of satin with glue, or put a piece of cobweb on it and apply it on the wrong side. Place a patch on the front side of the hole. Iron the patch with a hot iron through a damp cloth. It is very important that the grain of the patch is directed in the same direction as the grain of the garment. The drawing must also match.

Many people believe that clothing can only be repaired in special workshops. In fact, you don't need to be a professional seamstress to apply patches. Patches not only hide scuffs, stains and dirt that cannot be removed from the fabric. It's also stylish, especially when using colorful patches that attract attention. But before starting work, you should figure out how to make a patch on jeans so that it looks not only neat, but also fashionable.

It is not always possible to find denim identical in color and texture to jeans. And you shouldn’t do this, because a patch made from a different material will look much more interesting. Current options:

• Ripped jeans have been in fashion for several seasons now. This season a popular combination ripped jeans with all kinds of patches. The model looks feminine and gentle with lace sewn under the torn edges. Classic blue jeans with patches are combined with white, cream lace, and black, gray, dark blue models will look with black or deep blue lace;
• jeans can be decorated with thick pieces of fabric. Here the flight of fancy is not limited: a country flag, a picture, a drawing from a comic book. However, you shouldn’t get too carried away with bright patches, otherwise your jeans will look too pretentious. The style and color of the patches on jeans should match the top of the clothing;
• young people love patches made from various colored scraps. The main thing is to follow the principles of color combinations.

How to sew correctly

There are several patch options:

• double-sided patch - will help hide a hole in the knees, scuffs on the elbows denim jackets, dresses, shirts. The patch consists of two pieces of fabric, identical in shape, but different in size. First, a smaller piece is sewn from the reverse side in the place that needs restoration. After this, a larger part is sewn on the front side. Often a blind hand stitch is used for double patches because the machine stitching will be obvious;
• set-in patches are used to decorate any places on jeans, even between the legs;
• overhead pieces of material serve rather as a decorative element due to unreliability. The overlay piece of fabric is sewn on the front side with a hidden seam. Decorative patches for jeans are often made from fabric that differs in color.

Manually

Let's look at how to make a patch, using jeans as an example, where you need to hide a hole in the knee. How to make knee patches on jeans by hand:

• It is better to choose a knee patch from a denser material. Handicraft stores sell ready-made patches different forms, colors and textures. If you want to make it yourself, you first need to prepare a template from thick paper, then transfer it to a piece of fabric and carefully cut the patch to shape;
• the edges of the patch can be overcast or a small fringe can be made;
• the color of the threads can be absolutely any: contrasting with jeans or in the same range;
• first, baste the patch, iron the fabric using a hot iron;
• then carefully sew the patch to the knee using small stitches;
• You can sew the same patch to another leg, after which the jeans are washed and laid out to dry.

Typewriter

if you have sewing machine, sewing a patch on jeans is not difficult. Functional patches, just like decorative patches, are attached to the front side of the product. The edge is fixed with a straight stitch or with a zigzag. If you want to hide a worn place on the fabric under a patch, give preference to machine stitching, since this way you can fix the patch more reliably. Decorative patches can be stitched with threads that differ in color from the main color scheme.

After the patch is stitched, the product must be carefully ironed on both sides.

Decoration options

Many famous designers offer options with original patches on jeans. With their help you can turn regular jeans into modern stylish model. Options for decorative patches:

• lace patches combined with rhinestones. A feminine version of jeans that you can wear to a cafe or on a trip. You need to be very careful with the number of rhinestones. Lace itself attracts attention, so a lot of rhinestones will look ridiculous and too provocative;
• several patches made from materials of different textures and colors look stylish;
• patches with a floral print will suit both children's jeans and adults;
• applications in the form of animals, flowers, fruits, geometric shapes. In stores you can find ready-made patches of any shape and size;
• If you purchase several similar pictures at once, you can create a whole story on your jeans. They will look especially exciting on children's things;
• To create a retro look, just sew a plaid patch onto your jeans and wear a chunky knit cardigan.

Some people believe that jeans with slits and decorative patches can only be worn by young girls. In fact, you can wear such things at any age, the main thing is to know when to stop and not to overdo it with the decor.

Another misconception is that the more cuts on the jeans, the better. Numerous cuts that can turn into a large hole, combined with flashy appliqués, will make the jeans too vulgar.

Nuances of work taking into account location

It's a shame to part with your favorite jeans when they start to wear out. First of all, this happens at the junction of the two trouser legs, between the legs. A carefully installed patch will extend the life of your favorite item.

How to make a patch between the legs:
