Torn loafing is one of the most common problems that arise during the operation of jeans. How to sew a loaf quickly, simply and reliably?
This problem is known to many: one awkward movement - and the loafing on jeans is torn “with meat” ... You should not be upset: you can repair the hole in the jeans and carefully put the loaf back in place in less than half an hour. The main thing is to carefully select the threads so that they match the denim color from which your jeans are sewn. If the gap formed is quite large, then it is better to choose a piece of denim for repair so that it matches the color of the jeans. So the repair site will be almost invisible.

1. Iron with steam from the face and inside out the torn place, straightening all the torn threads of the fabric so that they cover the gap as much as possible.
2. From the inside, put a piece of denim for repair so that it covers the hole with a margin, and glue it with an iron on the spider line.Walk with the iron on the front and on the wrong side.
3. Using a straightener or small scissors, remove the torn fabric and the threads with which it was sewn from the belt.
4. Using a thread matching the color of jeans, darn a hole on a typewriter, walking tightly with the forward and reverse stitches to the right place. Capture not only the place of tears, but also the fabric nearby, so the darn will be stronger.
5. Sew the loops tightly with threads matching the color with which the jeans are sewn.
6. From the inside, carefully trim the remaining edges of the patch.
