So you have your favorite pair of jeans, you like the little hole
ripped looks, denim thing, one day you put it on them pants in Europe
right through the fray or whatever you want to call this.
And this looks so great anymore. And it starts the open.
You got these gigantic holes and it's starting to fall apart.
Not in a great way.
And it's your favorite pair of jeans. You wore them and they fit you perfect.
You know how hard it is to find a good pair of jeans,
especially as a woman that just fits you well.
A good pair of jeans shouldn't go to the garbage if it's fine,
if it's just that hole and it's just an esthetic thing.
But it can be more than esthetic because that whole can start ripping apart
and can just cause a whole new section to blow out and not look so great.
And then the hole gets bigger and expands and it's not fashionable.
It's not that functional.
Yeah, you want to fix that?
Well, I found a solution for that now.
I scoured the internet, couldn't find anything about this.
Surprisingly, because it's the internet, I thought I would find a product for this,
and I actually did find a jean patch that you could put.
And it had the look of the free, but it was not flexible
because it's a patch with the glue. So you actually couldn't fix it.
There was no fix to fix and maybe they would have skills.
I saw one video online of somebody that was capable of doing it.
It was like, you have to find out that the pair of jeans, you had to
basically create the frame then.
sew that piece back in, I put this brain to work and thought
of how I could make that work, and I did figure it out.
So I'm here to share that with you because this is a popular jean style
and putting your foot through the hole and messing it up or,
you know, squatting too quickly and then ripping your jeans. It's a thing.
Usually when you have blue jeans,
the elastic is white, so that should not be a problem.
And if you have any other color of jeans that doesn't work with white or black,
you just have to find yourself an elastic thread of that color.
And that's what I did.
I found elastic threads of these colors white and black.
I will link these down below for you comes with this ridiculous needle,
but it works well and you can't use a regular needle; maybe,
maybe if you have a needle at home
that small enough that can accommodate this thread.
But this surprisingly didn't mess up my jeans, and I was actually able
to poke holes pretty easily with this gigantic, blunt thread.
And the best thing is that it's really hard for you to hurt yourself.
So that's a that's a good thing.
You don't need a lot of swimming skills for this.
You're going to need to know how to tie it up, which I think
if you're capable of watching this video, you're capable of tying the knot
and then you have to be able to tie the knot at the end.
I'll show you how to do that.
But if it's not clear, I'm sure you can find a video tutorial online
to show you how to hand sew something and finish a knot.
So it might be a little bit of trial and error based on your jeans and stuff
and your skill set, but really not a difficult tutorial,
so I'm really happy to share this with you so that you can fix your genes.
So I just do that tonight. I fix one pair.
I fixed another pair fix this pair.
This is my favorite pair of jeans has just been
sitting on my floor for weeks because I was too lazy to fix it.
And then today was finally the day to fix it.
And I'm just about to go out for some drinks so I can wear my new parapet.
Well, it's not my new pair, it's my old pair, like seven years old.
But I love this pair, but it's like new again
because I have all these elastic bits I'm so happy about .
This just completes the look and also just feels solid like I'm doing this.
And I thought splitting open, you know, like it used to.
So let's get started on this tutorial to show you what I did.
We're going to lay the jeans flat.
Sometimes what you might end up having to do is cut some of this
just to clean it up a little.
I leave a little bit there, just preference.
But maybe this long one I may cut and keep just some of this.
This black thread is going to stand out a little bit in contrast with my pants.
Unfortunately, it's just not going to be as clean of a look,
but I think it's still going to look great.
We're going to pull it a lot more thread than we think we need
to take. Take a bunch.
So we'll just cut this, cut the split and off
we're going to do is we're actually going to take this ends here
threaded through this, which is super, super easy
just because it's so massive and we're going to double this up.
So go all the way to the end.
Balance it all out.
We're going to make a knot here.
There we go. And we're just going to cut the excess.
We have our thread and needle,
just try and keep it as straight as possible, not tangled.
Start on this side around here.
You're going to go underneath and go as close as you can to the edge
where there's like actual material.
And surprisingly, even though this thread is massive,
it goes into the jeans without any issues.
I was actually very surprised about that
because the size of this needle is pretty ridiculous.
Like, Look at this, this is this is a big needle.
This is a comparison between this needle and the regular
or regular sewing needle that I have in my little emergency kit.
You can you can see there's
a significant difference in terms of literally everything
of this needle, and I don't see it really messing up the jeans either.
So now we go across like this on one side,
lay the elastic flat across the kind of gauge where it goes.
I mean, you could even put choke points and then mark where to put it in. But
you also don't have to go to that level and then you'll go in from the top
little hole like that
and then you have one done.
So it's not even perfectly straight, but it's OK.
And we're going to just repeat this until we're done,
until we're satisfied, add on as much or as little as we need.
If you really wanted to make this really, really, really good
and you want it to take more of your time, you could just single thread and go
across and really, really add a lot so that it will look
quite like it's original, and maybe I'll attempt that on the next one.
So now everything is nice and taut, and I'm happy with this little pattern I did.
We are going to close the loop close.
Not so how you do. This is actually quite simple.
You put the needle right?
You need some extra thread for this, but it is elastic.
So if you don't have extra threads, fine, you can actually put the needle there.
Put your fingernail right at the base where the thread
in the needle intersect perpendicular. I know it's black on black.
Hopefully you can see this thing.
You take your thread and we're going to take this piece right here.
Not the one that's at the end in the loop,
but on the actual piece here.
What we're going to do is actually use the thread as a knot.
So we're going to loop one loop twice, pull it down, put my finger to nail
on top of the new thread and loops I've made and then keep it nice and tight.
My nail is going to hold on to it. I'm going to pull it to make
the knot and there's or not.
We cut the excess
ripped gene. Whole thing.
I really don't know what to call this. This is this is what it is.
You know what this is.
You know, if you're on video, you know.
So here is actually a little before and after.
This is the after the one that I just just did.
I could have actually continued it a little bit on the top
because it's elastic.
It's acting like I was
before keeping everything together and gives me that look as well.
And this is the I guess before this is the open hole
one that doesn't look as nice and it's starting to rip a bit more on this side .
And then when you were walking, it has this really ugly openings
on the side, which we don't like, and I am going to now work on this one
and maybe I'll do a single throw on this one.
So this is kind of like the before and after.
This is the one that I doubled up on the thread.
So every time I'm going in there, there's actually four threads
going into each hole.
There's the one that I just did, the regular one where it's double thread,
which is the regular way of doing it, and that actually worked out pretty well.
Maybe I will do this next time if I were to do this again,
if I cut the threads and decide to restart,
it was a little bit difficult, though, for this one to get the knots.
I have to double up the knots on each end of the threads when I was closing it
because it was way too thin and it was actually coming up because of that thick
needle was just creating a temporary hole where the thread to just pop out.
So once the once all of the fibers settle, it might be better.
So it's really good.
I'm very happy with this.
So here's your best tutorial. You're welcome.
Go fix those jeans.
I hope that helped you.
I wasn't planning on doing a tutorial at all.
It was kind of just something that I thought about doing when I was going
to sew up the last hole and I figured, wait a second, I was struggling .
So hard to find a solution for this.
I think this is working now that I've done three of them,
I'm going to post it online, though originally I doubled up the thread
and I don't think that was necessary.
I actually like the look of the single thread.
It's a lot cleaner, a lot easier to work with.
It's a lot less threads tangling because now you only got two threads
each time instead of four.
And what I mean to I mean like this goes through here.
This goes through here you have this.
So there's two threads each time you're sewing.
So I really hope I helped you.

Leave a comment. Let me know how it worked for you.
Maybe have some tips to offer.
one tip I would say and try to get.
Close to the edge of the hole, but don't be too stingy
like you need enough material that's tight, not loose material,
you need enough tight material for the thread to hang onto
because it was once or twice where that the thread
just popped right out because it wasn't actually really holding on to anything.
Go in a little bit more. Leave it a little loose if you need to.
You don't have to have it that tight.
The elastic are pretty loose when they're not stretched,
and then they have the ability stretch since they're elastic.
