Hole in jeans, how to sew up jeans without a patch
Manual darning of jeans is suitable if the tear is along one line or at a right angle (other types of darning are suitable for other types of fabric damage). To do this, you need to choose a thread color that is as close as possible to the color of the fabric.
- We lay the stitches from one side to the other.
2. Through the stitches that are stitched, we direct the needle and thread, perpendicularly, passing through the already stitched threads from above and below.

To darn jeans by hand at the knee, use the Sashiko technique. This is a Japanese method that is characterized by punctures in the fabric.
Prepare everything you need.
- Special thread for “sashiko” (if you don’t have it, use floss).
- Scraps from old clothes.
- A thimble or a special ring.
- Pins, chalk, ruler, marker.
Select pieces of fabric, cut to the size of the hole, adding 3 centimeters. Insert inside the pant leg.
Make sure the patch fits exactly under the hole. Keep in mind that the patch should sag a little so that you can bend your knee. Secure with pins and then baste. Use a ruler and marker if you want to make a specific stitch or pattern.
Use a needle with a wide eye, as the embroidery thread will easily pass through it.
Keep your stitches short on the right side and long on the back.
Having gathered the fabric onto the needle like an accordion, pull the fabric further.
The next line goes in the opposite direction.
A thimble or a special ring will help push the needle.

Causes of holes
Jeans are the most popular clothing in the world among both boys and girls. And the appearance of holes between the legs is the most common problem with real products. There are several typical reasons for the appearance of abrasions:
- Jeans are worn between the legs from constant use;
- a low-quality item already upon purchase serves as a guarantee of fragility;
- Excess weight also causes holes. The legs rub against each other, gradually “erasing” the material;
- an incorrectly selected washing mode is a direct path to product damage. People often neglect the inscriptions on labels. However, if the washing temperature is 30 degrees, you should not soak it in boiling water;
- incorrectly selected model or inappropriate tailoring. When cutting jeans, it is necessary to take into account the stretching and compression of the fabric. If the material is not deployed correctly, then the formation of holes is inevitable.
Don't be upset when a small hole appears on your jeans, even in the most intimate places. With a little patience, the right material and skillful hands, you can easily sew up a hole in your jeans between your legs. And if nothing can be fixed at all, you can sew yourself a bag, skirt or stylish accessories from damaged jeans.
Fungus between the legs occurs as a result of damage to the epidermis of the skin by pathogenic fungal bacteria. Penetration of parasites into the skin occurs under various circumstances. Moreover, if a favorable environment is created, they multiply quite quickly and can spread throughout the body.
DIY patch on jeans, step by step with explanation
We will need:
- A piece of suitable fabric.
- Adhesive tape (you can do without it)
- Thread number 35.
- Scissors.
- Pins.
- Chalk or bar of soap.
Depending on the nature of the fabric tear, the darning method is chosen. If you don't want to decorate your jeans with colorful appliques or fabric, the "stuffing" method is for you.
“Putting” is a method of restoring damaged fabric using stitches on a sewing machine.
For example, let's take gray jeans that have frays in different places.
Abrasion at the bottom of the pocket
Hole near the pocket
Soreness in the groin area
In total, there are four places on the jeans where patches need to be placed.
Patches for the areas shown in the first two photos. We cut out circles, a little larger in size than the abrasions, and process them with an overlocker. The wrong side will be used.
We cut out one patch for the abrasion between the legs and also process it with an overlocker.
We rip open the patch pockets, the thing will go under them.
We use adhesive web and glue it to the required places with an iron.
Since, usually, the color scheme of jeans has a heterogeneous structure, we select threads for each place.
Set the screed size to small. Where there are abrasions, we make the “piece” not tightly, using a zigzag stitch, trying to follow the inclination of the fabric hem in order to preserve the design.
The right pocket is a loose “thing”, the seam is not directed in the direction of the fabric hem, since in this place this method will be less noticeable.
Between the legs, the “stuffing” is made more dense to avoid fraying. Places nearby are covered with a light “stuffing”, where the fabric is already thin, but has not yet worn out.
When making a tight piece, make the lines perpendicular to the gap. We apply a thick “stuff” only in places where there is a tear, without catching the fabric nearby, so that there is no thickening nearby.
Symptoms
It is quite simple to identify skin fungus in the groin in women and men, because this pathological process is accompanied by very clear symptoms. At the beginning of this process, a red formation with a swollen structure appears, the surface of the spot may peel off. After this, other additional symptoms occur:
- The formations increase, the surface begins to darken;
- Itchy sensations appear in the area of the formations, sometimes unpleasant feelings and tingling appear. At the initial stage, unpleasant sensations occur periodically, but over time they become constant and reach the anal area;
- After this, small blisters, papules, and pustules with liquid inside appear on the spots;
- Then the formations with liquid spontaneously open, which ultimately leads to the formation of a large number of weeping formations with an erosive-ulcerative structure;
- Due to the fact that the affected areas in the groin area constantly rub against each other, the resulting friction provokes the spread of the pathological process to wider areas;
- In the area of fungal lesions, flaky areas appear where the formation of microcracks is observed.
Patch on jeans on the butt, how to do it beautifully
The buttocks are the place that attracts attention. Several patches are placed here, even in places where there are no holes. Since one patch suggests that it was placed specifically to close the hole. Appliques or embroidery made from thick threads are used. Place the patches randomly, so the jeans will look creative. Embroidery can be done on a sewing machine, if it has such a function, or manually, but for this you need to have skill, or you can embroider a piece of fabric, cut out the embroidery along the contour and glue it to adhesive tape.
Treatment
If this pathology is detected, it is worth starting treatment as soon as possible. Treatment of fungus between the legs usually involves the use of various medications. You should not use them yourself based on recommendations from neighbors or acquaintances. Drugs should only be prescribed by a dermatologist.
When treating groin fungus, you can use the following effective antimicrobial agents:
- Various creams and ointments - Terbinafine, Zalain, Clotrimazole, Ketoconazole. In this case, at an early stage, it is enough just to use any cream against skin fungus in the groin;
- In severe cases, it is worth using strong medications. Local agents with glucocorticosteroids - Triderm, Miconazole - have a good effect;
- In advanced stages, it is recommended to use antifungal agents. Tablets are usually prescribed only by a dermatologist; you should not take them on your own without recommendations, otherwise unpleasant effects may occur;
- If there is a feeling of unbearable itching, then the use of antihistamine tablets is prescribed - Loratidine, Zyrtec, Suprastin, Diazolin.
In addition to the above remedies, you must take various dietary supplements, vitamins, immunomodulators, and vitamin supplements that boost the immune system. Also, do not forget about hygiene rules - the perineum should be washed every day, and underwear should be changed daily.

- First, the dermatologist examines the patient and takes scrapings from the affected areas;
- Next, the material is examined under a microscope; filaments of mycelium should be detected;
- In the end, an accurate diagnosis is established, and it is almost impossible to confuse it with other skin lesions.
Leather patches for jeans, tips
Another type of patches for jeans is leather. They are very practical and look impressive. Old leather jackets, gloves and even boots can serve as material for a leather patch. In this case, you can cut out any shape in the form of a flower or geometric figure. Eco-leather patches are sold in sewing stores and online stores. They have special holes to make it convenient to sew them on by hand. Use leather patches on your knees or other places, they are quite durable and will last a long time. The location of such a patch can be at your discretion, the main thing is that it covers the hole and there is a margin of at least one centimeter. Prepare a thimble so that you can press on the needle comfortably. Place the jeans on a flat surface and apply a leather patch to the tear. Using suitable threads, sew on to match, sticking a needle into the holes.
Looking back
Tattered pant legs come from the past, when lower-class workers did not waste money on unnecessary new things and wore old clothes until they became obscene. With the advent of the desire to express oneself in the 70s, entire groups of people appeared who tried to convey a spiritual and political message not only through behavior, but also through clothing. Representatives of such movements tore their pants with their own hands and covered them with stains as a sign of resignation to their life choices. This is how hippies appeared - fighters for rights and freedom, opponents of war for peace.
Together with the free demonstrators, another group of social outcasts formed, who deliberately tore their clothes and were called punks and rockers. Often, excessively ripped jeans were held up with pins. With their rebellion and attitude towards society, they gave tribute to fashion on a large scale for future followers.
