Patching Linen Pants: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide provides a simple method for patching holes or worn areas in your linen pants.

  1. Prepare the Patch: Cut a patching scrap of fabric that's at least 0.5-1 inch larger than the hole or area you want to cover. This extra fabric allows for secure attachment.
  2. Position and Secure:
    • Turn the linen pants inside out.
    • Pin the patch over the hole, ensuring it's centered.
    • The pins will hold the patch in place while you sew.
  3. Sew the Patch: Carefully sew the patch onto the linen pants, ensuring a secure and even stitch around the perimeter of the patch. Remove the pins after sewing.
  4. Finishing Touches:
    • Turn the garment right side out to inspect your work.
    • Trim any loose threads for a clean finish.

You're now done! Your linen pants are patched and ready to wear.
