How do I repair a tear in an item of clothing?
A cigarette hole, a sharp doorknob, a dog bite and snap, your favourite Trousers are torn! Don't be sad, Tilli has got you covered fixing it all in style. Discover below our tips for repairing all your little everyday clothing snags.
Hide snags with pretty badges
If the snag is very small and easily repaired, we would of course suggest sewing it up. But most of the time, it's not that easy. The aim isn't to leave a lifelong scar on your favourite Trousers.
To that end, patches are a nifty option. We're not talking about all the ones you've stuck on your old backpack, in honour of the countries you've visited. No, we're talking about trendy patches, which you'll find online and in haberdasheries and which will bring some style to your outfit.
Most of them don't even require sewing, all you need to do is stick them on with iron-on and your hot iron!
Embroidery, an art that will sublimate the snags on your clothes
Sometimes, little accidents allow us to sublimate pieces that lack originality or are starting to look old.
Embroidery is a great way to sublimate all your clothes, whatever they may be.
Just the thing, at Tilli we also have an embroidery service. Think about it. You'll be able to replace your snags with pretty little hearts or a message that reflects you.
Repair snags with fabric patches
Finally, here is an equally stylish alternative: fabric patches.
Whether on your jeans, Trousers, T-shirts or jumpers, fabric patches remain timeless. Thanks to them, you'll customise your garment and give it a very distinctive style.
The patches can be sewn or ironed onto the garment. They can also be placed on the underside or top of the snag. It will depend on what you want and how you want it to look.
In any case, patches remain a really cool option and very easy to make.
Please note that for your wool jumpers, there is also a very specific technique that will allow you to repair the hole at the seam. Discover this technique in our article dedicated to tears in wool jumpers.
