Repair of clothes is relevant at all times, and darning jeans is one of the easiest and most important sewing lessons that beginner tailors should master at the stage of familiarization with a sewing machine.
If you do not sew all the clothes with your own hands, then the value of the skill of patching holes and scuffs on children's and adult trousers cannot be converted into money.
As you may have guessed, in this video tutorial on sewing, we will talk about holey jeans and their restoration.
Almost every woman in our country has to be able to do such repair of clothes in our country.
And you will probably be surprised, but the ability to darn clothes was once considered as worthy of a ladies' occupation as tapestry embroidery. The art of darning was taught even to girls from noble families.
Let's try and we will master one of the ways of patching holes on jeans worn between the legs ...
It is important that such jeans repair can be done with high quality on any sewing machine, even on great-grandmother's!
Of course, you can darn faster with an electric sewing machine with reverse (back-tack) function.
The author of this sewing lesson repairs jeans on an industrial machine, similar to grade 22.
Dublerin was used as an applied material.
I would like to add that the success of such sewing work depends not so much on skill, but on the matching of the color of the threads with the color of the jeans.
When choosing threads, please note that color matching in daylight may not be as good as in electric light.
As in the case shown in the video, in daylight the threads fit perfectly, but in the light of a device for shooting with white light, the differences were noticeable.
We start darning by identifying the area in need of restoration.
It is better to look at the trousers in the light and then circle the wiped areas with chalk.
A doublerin cut with serrated scissors is glued to the entire stroke area. Teeth are needed not only for beauty, they will allow the dubbing edge to become more elastic.
When gluing, we use tailor's pillows for convenience.
And, having finished the ironing work, we turn to the sewing machine.
Please note that the stitches should lie along the longitudinal thread of the jeans fabric. This direction of the stitches will increase the strength of the darning and the patch will stand out less.
Of course, this is not the only way to darn jeans.
It is also possible to repair frayed jeans in the free darning mode by lowering the teeth (rack).
In relatively new household machines, this function is turned on, as they say, with a slight movement of the hand.
And in case the patches no longer help, see the drawings and video tutorials on how to sew trousers.
