    Thanks for this. I’ve been doing a bit of mending for the family, jeans etc. It’s great to learn new ways. You mention unpicking the side seam for easier access. Just want to add that it’s also really handy for mending children’s pants as they are often too narrow to fit over the free arm and manoeuvre the area you’re mending. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’ve already learned something I wasn’t doing - putting the interfacing on as well. Thank you and God bless ❤

    I am a newbie sewist and have to repair a hole in my favorite pyjama pants. The fabric is very stretchy. What tips do you have for repairing holes on stretchy fabrics? This video is very helpful for beginners. I LOVE how you walk us through each step in a clear and concise manner. I also really appreciate the pdf written instructions too as all of this takes time but the end products is top quality. Keep up all of great work. With deep gratitude and respect to you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us.

    • @TailorItYourself

      Once you back the damage with another fabric, it will make it less stretchy, or not stretchy at all depending on what fabric you use to reinforce the area. You could also use a bit longer of a stitch to help with stretching.

    I am working on almost staight rip lines so I will do an iron on on the reverse of rip then zigzag over top with matching thread for hopefully a cleaner look on the outside of heavy Corduroy pants. I have 2 pair with holes near pockets so I have to lift off the pocket and do patch then zigzag over and around the whole then put the pocket back over the top where it was.

    That is a good video. I haven't tried cutting the side seam and sewing it back. Since I see you do it I might try it. I've always managed (with difficulty) to scrunch up the leg in such a way to expose the surface to be sewn on the base of my machine. It is hard, but can be done. But I actually enjoy using my several antique machines I restored. Also have some Japanese clones, and some of them can do a zig-zag or back stitch. My century old machines are Singers and White Rotary. Of course they do awesome straight stitch, but nothing else.

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They don't make them like they used to, that's for sure! I too sometimes just scrunch up the leg. But it would be harder to get a good shot, so I thought I could show how to open the seam and make it easier for the viewer to see the work.

    A childhood friend just sent me his favorite jeans to repair on both legs.
    There’s only one hole but both legs really are in need of reinforcement both below and above the knee. The denim has a stretch to it. I want to do a good job for my friend so I could certainly use any suggestions you have. I have never ripped open leg seams. Did I miss something or is the zigzag stitch when closing up the leg the only stitch you need? I thought the zigzag was to secure the edges, but that you still might need a straight stitch also.
    thanks for your tutorial. It’s extremely helpful.

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Howdy! The straight stitch closes the seam. The zig zag secures the edges. You can try doing it without opening the leg, so you'll just wrestle with it more and not be able to as easily see what you're doing.

    Love this video. Can we please see something on how to patch men's work jeans. Specifically how to add patches to the outside of the knees to reinforce them for people who have to kneel frequently. I have several pairs of jeans that are worn or ripped on the knees and I don't care if the patches are on the outside. Looks are not as important as function and comfort. Thanks.

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This method in the video will actually be more durable than just sewing a patch over the top. Stitching back and forth to reinforce the area will make it stronger. If you'd rather put the patch on the outside that's fine. But the method of repair is still the same.

  • @fredcdobbs823
    @fredcdobbs823 ปีที่แล้ว

    At 01:35, my experience is fusible webbing is not as durable as simply contact cementing patch material to the repair item, just let tack set about 45 minutes before joining the patch to the repair area. I also use contact cement brushed or smoothed onto the white fringe to save it for strength & blending before patching.

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When you are going back and forth over the area to the reinforce the patch, the needle gets warm. If you use contact cement it'll gum up your needle. I don't recommend using contact cement for a variety of reasons.

    I bought some of the iron on patching kits and I have had absolutely 0 success with them.

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Iron on patches can be tricky. You need lots of steam to heat up the glue through the thickness of the patch and get it tacky enough to adhere to another surface, without melting the embroidery. A sewing machine is safer on the embroidery and will last much longer. You can also hand sew it, but it can take more time and may not hold up as well. All depends on where the patch is going and if you can sew through it.

    • @TailorItYourself
      @TailorItYourself  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If you use a narrow zig zag, yes. You want to avoid a stitch that will leave long floats of thread on the surface. That can easily get snagged and wear out faster. You want a short stitch that will fuse together the layers for extra reinforcement. Not so small that you're sewing in one spot and get a thread jam, but not so large it's loose and pliable. This is covered in the video.

      If you are using a lightweight fusible you shouldn't notice a difference. The area you work on will be a bit stiffer initially because you've combined several layers on top of one another and stitched over them, but they will soften over time. But the fusible gets put in between the layers so you for sure shouldn't feel an edge.

      Perhaps you're using a different type of fusible. Medium/lightweight Stitch Witchery should work well with an regular iron with steam. You may need to let it cool before it will fully hold.

      Unfortunately making these videos is extremely time consuming so there wouldn't be a video for this for some time. Basically you'd need to add a wedge of fabric to the side seams or inseam to make the circumference larger to accommodate the leg. It'll be visible, and hard to match the fabric, so you may be better off buying a pair that fits properly.

      @TailorItYourself  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You certainly can do it that way. Either method just depends on the item you're working on and how bad the damage is. With holes the fix is never going to be prefect, which I explain at the beginning of the video.
