M'am, you showed very nice way to mend a tear. Very useful. Thanks. I came across your video for the first time but looking at the neat work and useful tip shown here I have subscribed you right away. Thanks.
Welcome to my Channel!! I'm so happy this helps you... thanks for watching
Wow, nicely done! I’m sure your neighbor will appreciate your skill.
So Sorry I didn't see your comment until now! Thanks so much
This is the only video I can find on how to fix a fabric rip next to a welt pocket. Its pretty much what I thought I should do. A lot of videos have a method to pull the fabric together, but that method takes away fabric. But my friends pants have more extensive "shredding?" I cant believe this is the first time I have seen black interfacing. Earlier today I thought I was going to have to completely ripped out the welt pocket top stiching and start over.
Thank you so much. Thank you!
So happy this helped you save your pants! Thanks for sewing along with me
Thank you so much for this. A friend has a big rip in his trousers and he has asked me to fix it if I can and this video has helped a lot. His rip is a bit more challenging with an L shaped rip. But I have told him he will not be able to wear these again without something to cover the rip like a jacket. Thanks again. Now my time to try and fix it. Wish me luck.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Friends and family are always bringing me garments that they have ripped. I own a sewing machine and I sew a little but I guess they think I can work miracles. I'm so glad there are channels like yours that make it look so easy. Thank you so much for this video.
You're welcome... One other tip. If you fix a tear in the back of someone's pants and you suspect the tear was caused by an overstuffed wallet that has been put in the back pocket... Recommend that they find a new place to keep their wallet... or consider down-sizing the content of it!
Thank you! Your's is the best tutorial for this on youtube. I watched a few.
Thank you for sewing along with me! (sorry for the delayed response!)
Thank you so much. Got torn suit trousers going to give this a go. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼
C L keep me posted :)
Fantastic tips. Husband came home with a tear in his VERY expensive pants near the back pocket and i’m going to use this technique to address the issue. Thank you!
So Happy to Help! Thanks for watching
what brand
Thank you so much for this video. My son-in-law ripped out both side pockets on his suit pants. I was able to repair both pockets and by the time I was done the repairs simply seemed to disappear. The pants looked brand new.
I'm so sorry I missed your comment... Happy to help. Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial! This was exactly what I was looking for. I have a pair of pants with a vertical tear just like these. Tried searching for a fix but kept finding tutorials on how to mend jeans with a horizontal tear.. thank you!!!
So sorry I didn't see your comment. Thank you and thanks for watching
Great tip Tuesday! You did an amazing job camouflaging. That grey is hard to match. I stitched the tear (caused by my husband’s George Constanza wallet 😂)by hand then stabilized with iron on patch in black (that was all I had) Your way is better because mine puckered a bit. Lesson learned. You are right about sewing being a process not perfection.
:))) Thanks and I love the George Constanza reference! :))) thanks for watching
Thank you very much, it’s very useful
Thanks! and thank you for watching
Thank you very much! They came out great :)
Hi Nick... Hope you are well... I'm mortified that I missed your comment!
Interfacing!! Why didn't that occur to me???? You're brilliant, thank you sooo much.
So sorry I didn't see your comment until now. Happy to help, and thank you for watching
Hi love your videos can you show me how to mend thining material on croch area
Thanks! You can fuse a piece of soft interfacing to the wrong side to reinforce the thinning area... Or you can use a piece of double sided fusible web to create a patch from a similar piece of fabric... Fuse the right side of the fabric patch to the wrong side of the thinning area. Then do some light darning (straight stitching back and forth) using a thread that matches the pants fabric. Hope this helps!
Enjoyed the video
So sorry I missed your comment earlier... Happy to help & thank you for watching
That’s great I need to learn this
:) Thanks
Thank you! Any ideas for repairs to dress pants with parallel tear at top of side pockets? Again, thanks
:) Can you send me a photo of the tear so I can see what's going on... Then I may be able to suggest a fix! (jsterndesigns37@gmail.com) Thanks!
The pants look amazing. Thank you for the video, exactly what I was looking for.
Sorry I missed your comment...Happy to Help, Thanks for watching!
I like how you did this. Made sense to me as I have sewn garments since I was 9 years old and I have tackled mending when necessary. My DH tends to cause stress tears where the front pockets meet the side seams. This actually tears the fabric, not the stitches in the side seams. Because of the bulk, it's hard to get fusible where it needs to be to stabilize those torn fibers but I will keep trying. Can you tell me what that fusible product is? It looks like a soft knit which may work better than the stiff fusible seam tapes I have on hand. The good thing is the side seams are not too visible to the casual visitor so I can play around some more and hope for an acceptable fix.
So sorry I did not see your question earlier... I use Palmer Pletsch fusible interfacings ... very soft and flexible. Also for small jobs SewKeyE fusible tapes are the best... Here's a link emmaseabrooke.com/product-category/tapes/
This is good info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you a lots!
So sorry I missed your comment... Happy to help & Thanks for watching!
Hi very new sewer, thank you for the direction for me to dive into me first mending project! I have a horizontal rip on semi-stretchy pants hopefully it works out! A couple questions, where do I get interfacing? And is a pressing cloth a certain type of fabric or just any piece used to fuse the two cloths together? Thanks!
I'm so excited that you are going to try to mend a garment! (sorry for the delayed response)... You can find fusible interfacing at big sewing stores like Joann Fabrics... Or online. I like Palmer & Pletsch Fusible Interfacings. Here's a link www.palmerpletsch.com/product-category/interfacings/
You can use any natural fiber fabric for a press cloth. I typically use plain muslin fabric. Muslin is a cross woven fabric that is used to test garments, and it's usually a natural cream color. Keep me posted if you need more help!
Thank you!!!
So sorry I didn't see your comment until now. Happy to help, and thank you for watching
Hi,thank you for video,what if the tare is on the knee of the pants
You can fix it in a similar manner... Put fusible interfacing on the inside of the knee... Press it flat, closing the tear as much as you can. Then stitch over it using thread that matches the fabric. You can also go bold and artsy ... make some contrasting patches and sew them on with embroidery thread to make them decorative! Hope this helps, thanks for watching
Perfect. Would you use the same technique for an small L shaped tear on dress pants?
Hi Meletina, Yes, you could use the same technique :)
J Stern Designs Thank you!
Thanks! Great tutorial. I have a pair of pants that are torn in just this way. On two back pockets! I'm with you until the sewing machine. I don't have one. Can one make a "zig-zag" stitch without one? Any alternative suggestions? Thanks again.
Thanks so much, You can definitely hand sew... it will just take a while. Stitch across the reinforced tear back and forth... You don't have to create a zig zag by hand. Use small stitches with thread that blends into the fabric. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
@@JSternDesigns Thanks very much. I'm going to get the fusible interface and the fray check now. Thanks again.
Do you have a video showing how to sew a small rip by hand?
Thank you for watching :) ... I do not have a UA-cam Video showing how to do this... but I do cover that in my Craftsy Class "Sewing Mistakes...What can Go Wrong and How to Make it RIght"... If you'd like to check it out...Here is my affiliate link for 50% off :) craftsy.me/2iSl8L0 (Cannot be combined with any other coupons. Expires April 22, 2017.)
What a great video. If you had to charge for doing this what would you charge?
Brandy Holmes /HoneySews Fashion ... If it’s not a random act of kindness, I would probably charge 12$ - 14$ depending on the size of the rear and how easy it is to fix
HI, WHAT KIND OF BLACK INTERFACING IS THAT, THE ONLY ONE I FOUND IS SOME KIND OF STRETCH KNIT TYPE, I NEED IT FOR DRESS PANT, THANKS
So Sorry I missed your comment. Palmer Pletsch Makes excellent non stretch stabilizers in a variety of weights! Thanks for watching!
I have a tear in a linen pant around butt area, at the joint. How to fix it ? I got it from riding a bike and cloth got really stretched :( thanks
Without seeing the tear, I think I would steam it with the iron to get it back into shape. Then fuse a piece of interfacing to the wrong side of the tear. Use thread that matches the fabric and either hand or machine sew along the grain of the linen to darn it back together. Let me know if this helps! Thanks for watching
What's the best way to patch a hole in woven fabric if I have the exact same fabric spare?
If you have extra garment fabric, you can use it instead of the fusible interfacing. You can trim any long threads or frayed edges away from the hole. Then put a piece of the fabric behind the hole so the right side of the fabric is facing up through the hole. Pin the patch fabric to the garment fabric and stitch it together to secure (as shown in the video)... If you have double sided fusible web, you can put some on the patch and fuse it to the wrong side of the garment to help hold it in place before you secure it permanently. ...Hope this helps!
@J Stern Designs Thanks. In the end I decided to use fusible interfacing all the same and then hand darn it. I thought it best because my hole wasn’t a neat rip - it was a former double welt pocket with fraying edges at either end. Turned out okay enough - it’ll be mostly hidden by a pleat, of which the pocket would have been in the way!
I have a pant suit that has a tear on the bottom pocket but I don’t have a sewing machine! Is there any way to do it by hand ?
I'm so sorry I didn't see your comment earlier...If you fuse a piece of interfacing on the wrong side of the tear to stabilize it... You can hand stitch across the tear to hold it together. Pick a thread color that matches the fabric and take small stitches ...Thanks for Watching
hi, can you tell me what sewing machine did you use?
...This video is an oldie but a goodie! I'm using a Pfaff 2140... I've since moved on from this machine. Now I'm working on the Janome 6700P (Which I love because it has presser feet with built-in "walking foot" capability... very similar to the dual feed on the Pfaff 2140)
How to fix pants that rip between the thighs???
I would patch the fabric from the inside using fabric that's similar. Then do a little light darning to hold the patch in place. Thank you for sewing along with me! Sorry for the delayed response
NICE featherweight!!!what’s it’s birthdate?
:)))) That was a gift from a good friend, I'm not sure what it's birth date is. I think I should take it down and sew with it!! Thanks for watching
Good and helpful video spoilt with the subtitles blocking the view. Why do we need them in that position. Thank you.
Sorry about that... Maybe turn subtitles option off? (I just watched the video ...no subtitles)
Have you heard of a reweaver
No, but it sounds like something I should check out!!
A better way to repair that to keep the slack turned inside out and seam over the tear. It's much cleaner and hardly noticeable. You should never sew over the tear like the way she demonstrated. I've fixed many tears like that exact one and it's hardly noticeable.
Thank you for checking in and sharing your way to fix a tear... I'm of the mind that if a way works for you, it's a good way to do it. (I have fixed many tears using the method I shared with excellent results)
Should have shown the pants repaired turned right side out.
Sorry about that!
