Mending favourite jeans

We all have favourite clothes and especially when it comes to jeans...
I love my jeans and don't want to part with them... not yet... they are very comfortable and i like the way I look in 'em...
So,  sometime ago i was mending them by adding piece of jeans fabric inside and machining from right side catching the holes,  and it was fine for sometime.

























Now i am using diffetent technique to mend those worn out places..
I turn jeans inside out and use medium iron-on interfacing to cover all worn out areas




 













After applying interfacing its ready now for darning.  I turned jeans right side out .   
 
      












Next step is to find the thread as closer colour as main fabric     



Start darning along the warp,
its well visible straight fabric threads.
Sew as close as possible tu each
stitch line for better results.

































Its quite long proces an requires a lot of patiens but it wil prolongs life to your favourite jeans so slowly slowly I filledall the mending area and end result is great. Its barely visible and quite strong so it will last long this time. It's like creating new fabric















After washing it looks great. As good as new and almost invisible thanks to the darker thread it doesnt show. Try this method and good luck.
