Torn Trousers, guaranteed patch
A snag or rip / tear in your thigh or calf can easily be repaired with a patch of fabric or patch.
It's an ultra-fast technique that will also allow you to customize your trousers and add a little extra touch. Two birds with one stone!
Whether you choose the patch or the patch, the technique is often the same, iron-on.
You can also sew it by hand or machine if you prefer.
Sew a torn pocket with textile paint
For those of you with the soul of an artist, it's time to get to work on a brand new canvas: your jeans pocket.
Indeed, you can cut a fabric to the measurements of your pocket and paint it to your liking.
This will bring a real plus to your jeans and replace the torn pocket.
Simply glue or sew this new pocket onto the old.

Sew up the crotch of your trousers
Don't tell us that your crotch got ripped in the middle of a meeting? Some somewhat unpleasant events can be subliminal messages. Like the one to get interested in sewing or upcycling your wardrobe!
Take advantage of this lesson to learn how to repair your crotch. Tomorrow, you'll be proudly wearing your trousers and your colleagues won't know a thing about it!
If the rip / tear in your crotch is slight, you'll be able to sew it up easily by hand, with a thread whose color will blend in with that of your trousers.
If the rip / tear is significant, then you'll use an iron-on coupon which you'll cut to the appropriate measurements and place on the reverse of your trousers.
Depending on the size and location of the rip / tear, the coupon may be garish.
Therefore, either accept that your trousers will become a casual outfit for the home, or decide to play the crazy card and customize them to the hilt with fabric coupons and patches. This will suggest that your trousers are an extra original creation by sewist Junya Watanabe, and no one will be able to imagine that under one of your patches there's a rip / tear!
