How to Darn a Hole in Denim Jeans by Hand
Inleiding
Ga naar stap 1Instead of tossing out jeans with holes in them, we can patch them and bring new life into them.
Darning is a technique used to repair holes in fabric by using needles, thread, and a patch; the patch being used is to fill in for the missing denim.
Be careful when handling needles, and be sure to return them to a safe place after darning.

Gather your jeans needing repair and locate the hole to be darned.
-

-
-
Now that the patch is fully attached, turn the jeans right side out.
-
Insert your needle from the inside of the jeans about 1/2 inch above the top of the hole and 1/2 inch to one side of the hole.
-
Pull the thread tight and insert the needle again on the other side of the hole about 1/2 and inch in the opposite direction.
-
This should create a stitch or a line of thread across the top of the hole.
-
Repeat the process to create enough stitches to cover the entire length of the hole.
-
-
-
Begin by putting your needle under the stitch closest and then over the next stitch and under the following, so forth and so on.
-
Continue this process for the entire width of the hole.
-
When you reach your final stitch you will pull your thread tight and begin again from the other direction.
-
Once this is completed, you should insert your needle, pull the thread tight inside the jeans, knot off your thread and cut the excess.
-
The hole should now be completely repaired and be back to regular function.
