The sashiko mending patch method is a simple and effective way to repair jeans, reducing waste and ensuring a new look. This method involves pressing, ironing, and drying the jeans to remove any small holes. Selvedge denim, woven on shuttle looms, is another option for repairing jeans. Despite the added stretch, selvedge denim retains its iconic red selvedge line and sturdy copper rivets.
Repairs can be done with darning, sewing, ironing on patches, or special fabric glue. Preheating the material and ironing until the patch is slightly transparent (30-45 seconds), focusing on the corners. Trim any frayed fabric away from the hole for a cleaner finish. Cut the patch to size, turn the jeans inside out, and pin it over the hole.
There are six ways to repair ripped jeans: using a sewing machine to patch jeans from the inside, applying an iron-on patch, or hand stitching a clean patch. Iron-on patches offer a quick and easy way to fix holes and tears in jeans without sewing.
