This will also help the patch look more seamless in your jeans.
Choose a patch that matches closely to the denim you are patching.
If you have an iron-on patch, you can use a hot iron to stick the patch to the inside of your jeans once it is in position. You can still add stitches on top of that to make sure it is secure.
Use a thread color that matches the color of your jeans. Use a new needle so it is strong enough to punch through the layers of denim.
Make sure not to cut any of the thread holding the patch to your jeans.
This will also make your sewing much easier.
You don’t have to use thread that matches your jeans, but it might stand out more and be more noticeable.
This stitch reinforces the fabric of your jeans to prevent further holes.
You can also wear leggings under your jeans on cold days to prevent friction and keep you warm.
You can hang your jeans outside on a clothes hanger to air them out if they are smelly.
If you do need to dry your jeans in the dryer, put it on low heat.
If you aren’t sure exactly where your jeans normally get holes, put them on and see where your thighs touch. This is usually the area that starts to rip.
