How to Patch a Hole Your Clothing | Darning Tutorial

I don't know how you get the hole but this his how you fix it! this method is best suited for unseen repairs due to its unsightly look. But this is a solid repair job for all those items you really don't want to keep getting worse.

All I used for this job was:
Needle sharps 5
Coated hand thread
Scissors

if you have any other suggestions or questions feel free to reach out!

SO happy I found this video, I got a gorgeous vintage skirt that needed a little fixing up and I'm so happy I can take care of it properly.

This was another example of your brand of greatness! Often times challenges such as this would prove to be overwhelming for the average person but, you just pulled away any kind of anxiety from the seemingly complex task. This is the kind of thing that you're known for, taking daily challenges and stripping back the steps. Thanks again for aiding in the maintenance of our garments.

Mr Gent, thank you for this lesson on repairing clothes.

I have a shirt with a hole. But I don't want to throw it away simply because it's the first shirt I bought for myself after high school (7 years old by this coming December)

And this guide really helped save it.

Thanks a lot, my good gentleman.

Wow! So easy and simple to understand. I just ripped my shirt that I got from Brooklyn 5 years ago and am VERY sad that I ripped it. I will have to try this when I get home from my Coaching! You sir are a true gentleman.

Great job! I am a novice sewer myself and I just bought a new blouse last week. I was trying to nip a loose thread near a button and wouldn't you know- I accidentally caught some of the fabric and got a hole in it on my first time wearing it. Same type of fabric etc. Oh by the way, don't listen to some of the people criticising you. They obviously don't realize you used this color of thread for visibility reasons to show them what to do. With white or light blue, you wouldn't be able to tell and more importantly-it's DURABLE.

Well done!! Thanks!! Worth the extra time to make the “outside around” stitches first!

First time stitching a hole, I had one at the end of a thigh high sock and honestly, I did a decent job! Thank you! ^^

Not sure how I missed this, but this is great advice I'll def remember if needed. Thanks.

Thank you very much! Helped a lot, I'm just starting to learn how to do simple repairs.

[sheralbee]

Love this! Thank you for explaining the why and how to mend a hole! Appreciate this!

[angieesquivel]

Thanks for posting. My cat chewed a whole through the sleeve of my fav sweat shirt. I really wanted to save it. Now I know what to do.

[vincentdivita]

Yes, thank you. Home made holster pants. You can imagine kydex might wear a hole in eventually and sooner or later it would show through. This is not a disposable garment, I want to be buried in these pants (no rush, lol!) Modified your technique with a bamboo embroidery circle and matching waxed embroidery thread. This garment kinda brings to mind the grunge era anyway, so....it's character now? I guess? Judges???

[oofertrooper]

Recently ripped my favourite pants and the hole is small. Thank you so much for saving those pants

If only one day i could be as classy as this dude lol

[fevereddreams]

thank you so much this was very helpful and concise

[KimmyWood]

Thanks I have a wool tailored jacket.. I want to repair

[arriesone]

This is awful, he just dragged the raw edges together, puckering up the fabric, instead of properly darning or putting a patch over.

[heathers.]

Please say at the beginning which side is the front of the fabric and which side is the back I had to start over halfway thru the video. Other than that, this video was very helpful. Thanks!

[kimora]

Would love to see the finished product

[kohjb]

Great video...very educational. I've seen some if those iron on patches or fabric glue and I've wondered how that would work with rips and tear holes? Do you work with these non-traditional tools as well and if not, is there something wrong with the technology?
