How to Fix a Hole in a Garment?

Published in Sewing Repair 1 min read

Fixing a hole in a garment involves anchoring the thread, picking fabric from one edge of the hole, and then picking fabric from the other end, going back and forth to secure it.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Anchoring the Thread: Begin by knotting your thread securely. This creates the foundation for your repair.

  2. Picking Fabric: Carefully select a small amount of fabric from one side of the hole.

  3. Opposite Side: Pick a corresponding amount of fabric from the opposite side of the hole.

  4. Back and Forth: Continue this process, alternating between picking fabric from one side and then the other. This back-and-forth motion effectively closes the hole. As you sew, ensure you're anchoring the thread firmly with each stitch to create a strong and durable repair.
