Jenny has three active boys and a penchant for keeping things looking good. Needless to say she is one of my best customers. I stitch up holes in seams, rips in pockets and snags in the body of the garments. Here is what she brought me this week all from her son Austin's wardrobe.
 |
| Top pair: crotch seam repair. Middle pair: tear through the bottom of a patch pocket. Bottom pair: a hole in the front of the leg. |
Finished results
 |
| Some simple darning with a stabilizer on the backside of the fabric. Did it in a slightly contrasting thread to give it that distressed look the kids like so much. |
 |
| Surprisingly the original top-stitching thread was still intact through the seam. I just stitched the seam back together and threw in some reinforcing stitches across the seam to keep it from tearing out again. Unfortunately not super pretty but it is for a little boy and it is in the bottom of the crotch seam. |
 |
| Like the first repair this was done in a contrasting thread to give it a distressed look. Stabilizer was stitched into the backside to make sure this well used pocket stays hole free in the future. |
Simple repairs like these are just $5 each and I can usually get them repaired and back to you by the next day.
