Repairing torn Trousers

We've all had that moment when our Trousers rip in public!
Whether it's in the crotch, the buttocks or the knee.
With wear and tear, the fibres of the fabric become thinner and eventually give way.

But that doesn't mean we should throw away all our damaged Trousers, because
there are loads of solutions for repairing Trousers. We explain it all to you below.

Repairing torn trousers at the crotch

Let's start with the worst, the tear in the crotch.

Depending on the surface area of the hole, you'll be able to
sew it up neatly with a thread whose colour matches that of your Trousers.

But if
the tear is gigantic, you'll have no choice but to come sew or glue on a yoke. Of course, this is likely to devalue your style, but here are a few ways to mitigate 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 favourite pyjamas ;
3. You only wear your Trousers at home, on rainy or depressed days ;
4. You play it adventurous and decide
to recustomise the whole thing with colourful fabric patches on your legs and bum.
Your Trousers are a complete mess!
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, again the yoke will be the most accessible and suitable solution.

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

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