How to Fix a Hole in My Jeans

Materials Required

Straight Pins
Needle
Thread
Scissors
Iron
Iron-on Patch

Directions

Rush to a fabric store to get an iron-on patch for the hole. Look for a patch that is at least ½ inch larger than the hole.
Put the patch over the hole and pin it.
Now, follow the instructions on the package. Follow them to iron the iron patch on the jeans. Do it carefully, so that there is no room for error.
Just ironing a patch won’t do the trick. It requires a little more effort to rehash your good old pair of jeans to come out in a new look.
To reinforce the patch, fold the jeans level with one edge of the patch and whipstitch the edge of the patch to the jeans, making about 10 stitches per inch.
Pull the needle up through both layers of fabric, the jeans and the patch, with the needle at a slant that is just a few threads from the edge.
Loop the needle over the top of the edge, to the back side of the jeans.
When you reach the edge of the side, refold the jeans and continue to sew, until you complete all the three sides.
When all the three sides are done, tie the end with a knot and cut out the extra thread. Your good old jeans are back with a punch!! Get going!!
