Alyssa Chalue1, The same for me. I have two fairly new T-shirts with pin holes that I will try to salvage. I used to vent my frustration over these pin holes by ripping the holes even bigger. The T-shirts would get moved to gardening/painting/lounging at home wardrobe. I abhor throwing money away on new T-shirts just to get these pin holes after 2-3 washings. Thank you for this money saving repair.

if you can't find an exact color match, you'll want to use a thread color that's a shade darker, rather than a shade lighter. It tends to blend in better.

*Don't blame the washer!* You all likely have clothes moths. They do their work, which doesn't show up on the clothes until put through the wash. The moths' acidic digestive saliva breaks down the fabric, but It's the detergent and agitating washer that pulls the weakened threads apart and, magically, the hole "appears".

My mother taught me to darn, which is what you did with the sewing method. Making a knot at the end of your thread is a no no. Instead work the tail of your thread in with the threads you are darning. This method eliminates the bump that I know I would end up playing with because it would annoy the heck out of me.

Great technique; can't wait to try it.

Thank you Professor Pincushion. I have tried sewing larger holes...ciggarette burns...and wished I'd have saw this sooner. I loved your demo about going AROUND the larger holes. I've always tended to just look for the area where I could go in a straight line and done it that way but it leaves it bulky on the inside. Thank you so much! :) BTW, nobody smokes, (and falls asleep smoking anymore...thank God so no more circular holes in blankets anymore!) Thanks again!!! :)

So helpful! I wasn't looking for this at all, it just came up. I also have a shirt that just got a hole near the pocket. Thanks for this!

I never would have found this video, which is amazing, if I didn't look up videos for sewing feathers. Thank you EDC.

For the sewing option, I found the ‘after’ looked better if I passed my needle from the wrong side through to the front side, and worked on it from the front side using this stitch. Then when I reached the end of the hole, pass my needle back through to the wrong side and knot it off. When I tried staying on the wrong side, it left the little ripped edges of the hole on the right side of the t shirt, which made the repair more noticeable. When I pulled it out and did it the way I mentioned above, it left the edges on the inside, giving a cleaner looking repair. Hope this made sense. Lol I’m not very good at describing things.

this is the best! I got a brand new limited avalability t-shirt from one of my favorite brands, wore it once, and my lovely little kitty put a hole right in the middle of it right under the design. I used the fusable bonding web technique and it's like the hole was never there. I also mended another shirt she had damaged with similar results. I tried it with a heavier shirt with a larger hole and it didn't work, but I wasn't really expecting it to because of the weight of the fabric.

You are amazing. THANK YOU!! especially for talking us through the steps. I spent 2 hours making a dress and accident cut a hole in the front center and this saved it

Wow! Thank you so much, I had a small hole in my pyjama joggers and used the stitching to close it up. I used a really close coloured thread and now you can’t see it at all, I struggled to find it after! Thanks you 🤩😁

Great to know, T-Shirts are so good to get tiny holes!! Thanks

Both techniques are interesting, especially the first one. Smart how the 2nd technique, by not grabbing the frontside strands, prevents that black, contrasting thread from showing up on the righ side of the t-shirt.

That's amazing. I have many short and long sleeve t-shirts and I have no idea where the holes come from, but appear they do! Now, I'll have a go with the fushion web stuff you showed. Brilliant!

This is a great video! I tried to mend a hole several times in a sweatshirt and it looked awful each time. After watching this video I did it pretty well if I do say so myself! I’m saving this video for the next time I need it.

I love these videos! I revisit some techniques I learned decades ago and update/upgrade them. I also learn something new. What I especially appreciate is the forum to share comments and ideas. Women used to sew together (my aunts were part of a quilter's guild/missionary society that made quilts for the missions of our church). How I wish I could go back to those days!!

I don't think many people have ever dealt with baking parchment paper and so don't realize how it is one of the few substances in the world nothing sticks to (for long). Parchment is really cool and annoying in equal measure. I'm glad you brought up using it here because I just wouldn't have thought of it for ironing fuse bond...perfect though.

@igotyouinatrance2426

Can you please elaborate how you use the dryer sheets on your clothes to cover the hole

My go to is Aleen's Flexible Stretchable Fabric Glue. I think it works the best. Work the hole together and place a piece of clear scotch tape on the front/outer side of garmet and glue on the inside. Fyi, I pull the tape back and adjust as I'm working the fabric together. When I feel it's acceptable I apply the glue. Begin with the smallest amount of glue possible...on some thin fabrics I use the tip of a needle to transfer the glue and spread a thin layer. Don't over work the glue when applying or apply too much, as glue can come through very thin or loosely woven fabrics. I don't use backing material the majority of the time...patience with thin layers letting each dry min 1-4 hrs, fabric dependent and thickness of glued layer dependent, before checking. DON'T stress the hole if you're compelled to remove the tape at this time. (24-48 for full dry and wearable). You'll know if you need more when it drys. It has always stayed intact through washing for years.

It is clothes moths that are causing the holes. We spill some food or drink on our clothes. During the night the moths land on the clothes and eat some of the fibers of the soiled garment. The holes do not appear yet. When you wash the clothes, the agitation of the washing machine pulls the weakened threads apart. That's what causes these small holes in clothes. The best defense is to know when food is spilled on your shirt and then wash it that same day. Or soak the shirt in water with detergent overnight. That will remove the food. Don't let the moths feed on your clothes overnight.

This is a really great idea! I just started my KZread channel and I am hoping to be a frequent uploader.

Ignore the trolls. Your video was really helpful!

I have found success on slightly larger holes by using a size 12 (US) metal crochet hook to reconnect the "ladders" as close to the origin of the tear/hole as possible. Then, I cut a few bits of the t-shirt knit from a seam allowance or at the hemline, where it won't be stressed or noticed. I mix the t-shirt threads with tiny bits of the adhesive webbing and then follow your ironing technique. Yes, you need to have really basic crocheting skills (chain stitch) and you will know where the repair is made, but unless you tell someone or show them, it's not going to be noticed, either. My mother-in-law never bothered to repair. She bought adhesive appliques and ironed them on the garment to hide the hole. Oh, well, I went to 4-H and took a home ec class in high school. She didn't.

I am alone, so I got to fix ( or try ). I think i'l be able to do the 2nd fixing way, so far. But it is better one than the holes... Thanks for this video!!!
