How do I repair a tear in my Trousers?
Trousers that rip can be very embarrassing, especially if they are in the crotch area.
There's no need to panic if this happens.
If you've been following Tilli for a while, you know that everything can be repaired or transformed.
So quickly discover all our tips for saving the life of your Trousers!
Torn Trousers, guaranteed patch
A snag or 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 customise your Trousers and add a little extra touch. Two birds with one stone!
Whether you choose the patch or the badge, the technique is often the same, iron-on.
You can also sew it by hand or machine if you prefer.
Sewing 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.
In fact, you can cut a fabric to the measurements of your pocket and paint it to your heart's content.
This will add a real plus to your jeans and replace the torn pocket.
All you have to do is glue or sew this new Pocket onto the old one.
Personally, we'd go for Klimt's The Kiss on our bum. How about you?
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 tear in your crotch is slight, you'll be able to sew it up easily by hand, with a thread whose colour will blend in with that of your Trousers.
If the tear is significant, then you'll use an iron-on coupon that you'll cut to the appropriate measurements and place on the reverse of your Trousers.
Depending on the size and location of the tear, the coupon may show.
Therefore, either you accept that your Trousers will become a casual outfit for the home, or you decide to play the crazy card and customise them to the hilt with fabric coupons and patches. This will suggest that your Trousers are an extra original creation by fashion designer Junya Watanabe and no one will be able to imagine that under one of your patches there's a rip!
Repair any snags and give your Trousers a new lease of life.
