Yes! I hate when I stain or tear (small holes) almost new clothes and I can no longer wear them just because of a small damaged area, very useful video.

i love to see this format from creators who actually have good tips instead of made up clickbait stuff!! more clothing repair/alteration vids please! (:
I didn't knew it, but I've been waiting years for this video! ✨jeans magic✨
My roommates are always asking me to fix their jeans that have ripped either in the crotch or the bum so maybe now I might actually help them out
Can you guys do a cute embroidery tutorial for jeans, or t shirts?!!??...
I can't tell you how happy I am rn , I had a minor accident and tore one of my fav jeans and i can finally fix it ,it sounds silly but means a lot to me
My jeans always rip on the inside do the legs. My thighs are just too powerful!

Same! But before it rips (like when it's fraying or even little holes) the ladder stitch actually works for the thighs! I just tried it out :-)

I know this isn't very helpful afterwards lol but when I realize that I'm wearing a certain pair of jeans a lot I immediately use iron on patches on the inner thighs. You can also do this when you first notice the material thinning before a hole forms!

Using a patch of fabric similar to the colour of the jeans on the inside and sewing over it in all directions with a jean-coloured thread works for me. You can look up how to darn jeans on YT. I also find that jeans with a topstitch on the inner seam last longer. In the end, the holes on the inner thigh are kind of inevitable so I just try to buy decent quality jeans and not wear them when I'm at home. And if they rip, darning lets me wear them for a little while longer, I just have to be more careful about not ripping them.

@@TheWeirdjudd not on the inner thigh area buddy, it's not gonna look cute, it'll add bulk to where your thighs are already touching, and all round not a cute look to have patches just in your inner thigh area!!
So helpful! I used the ladder stitch to fix the sleeve of winter coat. Can't even tell it's been repaired. Thank you for your easy explanation.
Im so happy that you made this video!! The hole on the knee in my favourite jean has torn all the way through and i cant find this exact jean anymore. Thank you!!
As a Muslim girl this is so useful!! I love the whole ripped jean look but haven’t been able to wear them in a modest way- I had no idea iron-on denim was a thing!!! Thank you so much ❤️

if you can't find any iron on denim, I would think a matching fabric and some fabric glue could work too?
@spiceandmice9135

as another option if denim patches aren't around, you could get double-sided fusible interfacing at a fabric store (if I did this, I would cut the interfacing in a donut, so that the ripped part did not touch the interfacing, then sandwich it between the denim and the patch, then iron, but you could just do the sandwich without cutting a hole in the interfacing). There are also ways to do invisible (on the outside) stitches, or you could try fabric glue spread (very!) thin.

Thank you for that simple instruction on how to ladder stitch! I just fixed a tear in my husband's jeans thanks to that and I feel so proud of myself for accomplishing it! This was the highlight of my day, thank you! 😊
So helpful, thank you!!! I patch my husband’s work clothes all the time but still learned some new tips :)
Thanks for the video. I used the first method you showed with the ladder stitch to fix two pairs of jeans. I don’t sew, ever, and this was helpful.
I found this video by google-ing 'how to reweave a hole in my jeans'! Thanks for the info, im trying it today!!
Such a helpful video. I always quickly make distressed jeans hole ripped wide. This will help a lot!
This is the most helpful video I've seen in quite a while.
Honestly one of the most helpful videos ive seen!
Thanks Kels! This just helped me save my favorite pair of jeans! Love ya girls 💙👖
Thank you so much!! I ripped my work trousers and had to repair them and thanks to your fantastic video, I did just that yay 😀
Thank you so much for this content, I can't wait to try and fix the straight tear in my daughters FAVORITE jeans with your simplified instruction. This mama, with no sewing experience, is excited and confident from your video! Have a lovely day!
This was probably the most helpful video I’ve ever watched!!!! Thank you so much! I’m repairing all of my jeans now! ❤️🙌
I'm not good at sewing but have been taught how to sew when I was just a kid but didn't know or maybe don't remember or wasn't shown the ladder stitch. I like it. Thanks.
You are awesome! I learned so much from watching this video. No need to throw out my torn jeans!
Thank you for teaching me how to save my jeans. Excellent video.
Wonderful job repairing those jeans!👍 You are so good, you make it look so easy.😁
Thank you for this! I tried repairing a hole but it looked bad and came out in a week, ha. Just tried this and it looks good!
Enjoying this quick short informational videos! Fun change of pace :) also keeps us watching something while we wait for more making home 😆
I literally have 5 pairs of jeans with holes. I guess I need needle and thread and patches. I really appreciate your advice. You are helping us single losers answer some problems we couldn't figure out without you.
very easy and clear video. thank you. I'll be trying this soon!
Beautiful work
Thank you thank you thank. My 15 year old granddaughter has been nagging me to fix her favourite ripped jeans for months. Now I know how to do it. I've subscribed to your channel. I'm a fan 👍💃
Hey, i think a reason why these how to videos are getting so few veiws are the thumbnails. Love you gals
Last week I straight-up ripped the biggest hole in the bum of my favourite (basically only) pair of jeans. I’ve been devastated. I feel like this video was made for me. Can’t wait to fix them!
i always wanted these kind of videos from this channel!!
Thank you for the nice tips :) now i can repair the old jeans 😍
What a perfect tutorial!
Love your iron Kelsey! Great to see you do some cool stitching! That's what I did back in the 70's and also alot of patching for my son when he was little in the 90's! For your last repair to reinforce it, you could do a button hole stitch all around the big hole. It will keep it stronger and from fraying less and coming apart again!😀💖👖
This was mind blowing. I used other methods but these sounds great Sara Nena DIY
Yayy! I loved it! Definately needed this! 👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉
I watched this video when it originally came out. Today I noticed a vertical rip in the same place as fix #1. Glad this video was my first result when I googled how to fix it.
Thanks so much for your video! Very helpful! Love it 💕
Very helpful, I’ll have to give these a try to patch up a couple of jeans I’ve been hiding/ignoring in the back of my drawer
This came at the perfect time. My favorite pair of jeans just ripped at the knee. I know what I’m doing next.
Wow, this came right on time! Now i can repair my jeans without further musing on how to do it. =)
Thanks for this, Kelsey!!! This was really helpful! I have a lot of jeans I can work on with this! Can you also show how to fix broken pants/slacks zippers? Thank you so much!!
I wish this video came out sooner! I love this. Hahahaha could've helped with how I repaired my fave pair. As for suggestions I'd love to learn all about paints and what type works best where? Or how to repair the covers on the foam of my headphones (they're tearing and I don't want to buy new ones especially since they still work real good)? Sending all the love Kelsey and Becky! 🥰
Loved this was such a useful tutorial
Most useful video i have seen on KZread 😄
Giving me throwback vibes to the first video I watched from you guys, the diy racer back tee video!
This is so helpful and epic. Thanks Sorry Bros!
I repair and alter clothes for a living. What I do if use iron on interfacing on the back, rounded corners. (Like the first one here) I like to make it past the hole at least a half inch around to prevent further ripping. Then I darn the good side with a sewing machine. I blend in the stitches with an exact colour match. (Always go darker rather than lighter if no exact match.) I make sure the lines of stitching are long enough to go past the interfacing a little to prevent lifting. The results are pretty good. All these methods listed are good for a no machine fix. But if you have one, I suggest trying this way as it prevents bulk, but keeps it strong.
THANK YOU!!!! I've got 4 pairs of still-good jeans that I just need to repair the knees' worn holes instead of going out & jean shopping, and this has me fired up to do that. Lol ironically I came across more than one clip where the aim is to create holes in your jeans, and I'm over here trying to go the other way.
loved your tutorial and the methods! ❤ greetings from germany :)
great info. ive been meaning to fix up the holes in favorite pair for forever. distressed jeans and putting them on in a rush, in the dark is a terrible combo.
Oohh, nice techniques! 👌🏻
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌

You could also keep going on that last repair by weaving thread vertically through those horizontal threads.

What thread to use? I tried to use the normal one that’s used in stitching. It’s too thin. Can you link it?
tha last one really saved my life, I tend to forget about not washing my ripped jean on the machine, and i had ruin many multiple times, now i know how to fix them rather than buying new ones.
The first method works like ✨. Mine was a cut shaped like an L. Took some effort but it looks like new. Thanks for saving my favourite jeanies.
I’ve never been this early!! I love a sewing/textile diy ☺️
Good skills to know - thanks.
