#denim sewing

[wells-creative]

This is a mend I did on a pair of my pants that had ripped right next to the pocket. (I feel like this is due to poor denim quality or something)

I wanted to see if I could patch it with thread alone rather than adding a backing material. It worked out rather nicely and this patch is still going strong.

I used this six strand embroidery thread and a regular embroidery hoop for this and these are my go to hand sewing needles.

Yee Haw

November 7, 2024

Added a little Easter egg to a pair of pants I mended for my sister. It’s not super pretty but it was free hand drawn and I’m not too artsy.

She thought it was pretty funny and it suits her because she is one to grab life by the horns.

Blue Jean Mend 10/2023

These jeans belong to my sister who is a farrier and all around farm gal so she is very tough on her pants. These in particular had a run in with an overweight Boer nanny goat while we were trimming their hooves.

Used a bunch of large basting/sashiko type stitches to hold the patch in place then flipped it over and stitched around the raw edges.

There was also a small hole a little farther down the leg that I patched the same way.

And one on the booty that I kind of wove over the hole and added a bunch of reinforcement stitching to make sure it was secure.

And these are the overall results. These jeans live on to battle another goat.

Here’s the products I used on these for anyone that wishes to check them out.

Booty Patch

November 11, 2024

Fixed these for my brother in law. It was a simple fix accomplished by stitching a patch to the inside of the rip and stitching over it enough times to reinforce it.
