Thank you so much! This is a huge help I have three pairs of pants that have holes in the crotch on the seam and I thought I was going to have to throw out and buy new pairs of pants and I am very particular about the pants I wear and this saved me a lot of money.
Thank you for this video. Is there anything that would change if the crotch is completely busted open? I have a joggers I wear to the gym and it's just a hole at this point.
Hi @DreJr! Hard to tell without seeing the actual damage. All I can suggest is: If there is no fabric missing this sewing technique should work well. On the other hand if your joggers are WELL worn and there is fabric missing you should look into mending or patching the area. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching 👀☺️
Does it make a difference in the type of material you're having to repair and the type of stitch you use? For instance, I have a pair of Adidas trainers that are made with a shiny, rayon like material.
Briefly: Yes, it does. Thread makes big difference as well - different for delicate fabric and stretchy fabric, etc. But, if I understand your question correctly, you have trainers to fix. Most trainers are designed and made to be durable and with that said, this technique should work well on your pants. Keep in mind, that it helps to sew stitches very close to secure the fabrics raw edge and therefore close the hole correctly.
@@SewingatHomeMom thank you for the reply. Looking forward to giving it a go. It pains me to have to discard a piece of clothing that looks perfect but for a crotch seam separation.
Any tips for closing the sewing job? I saw you loop the needle through the thread but every time I try to loop and make a knot, the knot forms farther down the thread and I don't know why
Hi Rachel, I don't know why that happens because I can't see it. But maybe try to insert your finger in the loop and hold it in there until you pull the thread almost all the way, until you start feeling that the thread tightens around it. This is when you take finger out and continue pulling the thread until you finish making the knot. Hope it helps!
Hey, next time use dark clothing with a different colour thread since you are demonstrating, the white thread is so difficult to see with everything in the picture white.
As a grown man I found this very helpful, especially the loop and start sewing half inch away from the hole . Thank you!
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Definitely will look into this idea!
spectacularly vague instructions
Hi there! Would you like to clarifying what is it that you're having problem with? Do you need more information/instructions?
