Repairing torn trousers

We've all had that moment when our trousers rip in public!
Whether at the crotch, buttocks or knee.
With wear and tear, the fabric fibers become thinner and eventually give way.

But that doesn't mean we should throw away all our damaged trousers, because
there are lots of solutions for repairing trousers. We'll explain it all below.

Repairing torn trousers at the crotch

Let's start with the worst: the rip / tear in the crotch.

Depending on the size of the hole, you'll be able to
sew it up neatly with a thread whose color recalls that of your trousers.

But if
the rip / tear is gigantic, you'll have no choice but to come sew or glue a yoke. Of course, this may devalue your style, but here are a few ways to overcome this side effect:

1. By chance, you find
exactly the same fabric as your trousers and the yoke is almost invisible ;
2. Your trousers no longer look like much and now become
your favorite pajamas ;
3. You only wear your trousers at home, on rainy or depressed days ;
4. You play it adventurous and decide
to recustomize the whole thing with colorful fabric patches on your legs and buttocks.
Your trousers look like a million bucks!
5. You're not too sure of yourself on this one and
you'd rather make a call to a Tillist!"

Repairing a hole in your trousers

If the hole is on the leg or back of your trousers, here too, the yoke will be the most accessible and suitable solution.

Here, don't hesitate to
play with materials and colors. This repair may be the opportunity to give new life to your trousers and at the same time, a new style!"

Know that with fairy fingers,
you can also use embroidery to hide a hole. Embroidery on thread or bead, this will undoubtedly bring a lot of cachet to your trousers. Take a look at our embroidery services and think about a design you might like!
