Quick fixes: How to repair ripped pockets

You can find instructions on the Love Your Clothes site:
www.loveyourclothes.org.uk/vi...
YOU WILL NEED
- A needle and thread of any colour
- A pin
- Scissors
METHOD
Turn your garment inside out and trim any frayed fabric off the pocket bag.
Hold the top and bottom piece of pocket fabric together and roll it over by half a centimetre and then again to create a secure rolled hem. Pin this rolled hem in place.
Sew with double thread along the rolled hem to secure the layers together. Sew one stitch forward and one back so that it is very strong.
Finish it off securely and turn your garment back through.

This video was soooo helpful! I had to repair the pocket in my son’s sweatpants today and was not pleased with my first attempt. Luckily UA-cam came to the rescue once again! Thank you so much!

[@robertmason6366]

Thank you. I just bought a sewing kit to sewing up my Hugo boss jeans and needed a tutorial for a simple patch up job....and here it is..thanks

[@jfellrath]

Thank you for the folding-over tip! I’ve always just seen mine shut and they’d re-open.

[@red2965]

if you don't tack the seam it's a gonna unravel

[@scrabble101]

Thank you you just guided me through my first ever sewing repair feel very empowered and a bit less of an undomesticated male. 🙂

Interesting how it took a couple of turns altering the Google search wording before this was a ‘hit. Exactly what I was looking for - subbed.

[@RW86424]

Same thing happened to me

[@rocionieves4336]

I know this video is pretty old but thank you so much for this! Had a ripped pocket in one of my shorts for a while and I was just dreading having to repair it thinking it'd be hard to do but I just fixed it while watching this. Much easier than I thought 😂

[@alwaysmusing]

Thanks for sharing

[@larryfulton7619]

Love the instructions, and I have a Sewing Kit exactly like the one you have!..But, the pocket that I need to repair is on my jacket, the jacket is lined, so I cannot get access to the other side of the material like you have here.

[@Bannazkit]

Why is it that THIS particular video cannot load? Any other video on YT loads perfectly fine. Anyone else experiencing this?

[@DukBurd]

Thank god , i'm not crazy

[@rekem17]

Set the quality to 360p

[@michaelkane5337]

Thanks . Yeah I have a lot of jeans and kakis that still look new but the pockets tend to go .

[@brendesigns8618]

thanks ! helped me save a jacket.

[@UsandEveryoneWeKnow]

There is a way to sew a pocket from the inside, so it looks like you've sewn it from the outside. Which is great for a coat with a lining (where you can't get to the outer pocket).

[@spellbound111]

What if the damage is higher up in the pocket? Manufacturers make pockets from cheap thin material.

[@50sorrowC]

I feel you. Both pockets of my jeans are made of this thin crap fabric.

[@Scooterny22]

AMAZING!!

[@riclin85]

THANK YOU” 🙏
I love tips, ideas, suggestions, even propaganda lol, (well that last one isn’t true) be yeah, I love it when Humans speak the truth and when they go straight to the point, I love it.
Thank you agan Ma’am.

[@PolymerJones]

I don’t have a needle or thread need to fix this now going for duct tape and or super glue

[@red2965]

[@catherineb6561]

why can't I load this video???

[@neilrocks84roblox19]

The bottom pocket on one of my navy blue shorts is almost completely ripped

[@Treguard]

Sorry to hear that Neil.

[@red2965]

would have loved it had it been my trousers and not my coat pocket where mending it would make it bloody small

[@etchosts8162]

I cant see stop moving camera angle!

[@GraceEagle5]

Thanks Jenny! I can now wear my pants again.

[@jamie-leedonnelly1056]

Omg I can’t see a thing

[@rinnin]

But now you’ve only half a pocket! 🤦‍♂️ Any alternative way to keep the same volume? Have to store my wallet and keys in it. 🤷‍♂️

[@thomaselliott573]

then you end up with a shallow pocket

[@ikrammohiuddin3133]

But space to keep stuff on the pocket gets decreased

[@wombatgrunt6743]

ikram mohiuddin WAHH!

[@alisonsmythe1287]

This is helpful, but it would be far more helpful if trousers / shorts manufacturers just used stronger material in the first place!

[@schnitzelschnizel9448]

Do you have to smack?!

[@rometroy420]

awful camera work, zoom into the actual work, and stay put

[@PolymerJones]

lol

[@brettwoolley8689]

of course the one video I find that looks like it has the solution. wont load. any other video loads instantly, the one I need right now? nope.

[@ESCosta]

Doesn't work for badly damaged pockets.
