Fixing a hole in your pocket

Fixing a hole in your pants pocket is easy, quick and cheap. Don’t worry about losing your stuff because you aren’t sure how.

Tutorial

Finding a hole in your pocket is a bad thing, but it’s not a huge problem. As soon as you realize that there is a hole, you should mend it. A hole that you can’t see is easy to forget. You don’t want to remember by wondering where the stuff in your pocket went to.

Fixing a hole in the pocket of your pants is a pretty easy task. This is because holes are normally where there was a seam in the first. All you need is a needle and some thread. Make sure that the thread is long enough, but short enough to work with. Thread the needle and turn the offending pocket wrong-side-out. Then all you do is make even stitches all the way across the ends of your pocket. If the hole has made it impossible to do this without bunching, you may have to take out that stitch and sew a little farther back. If you aren’t good at making your stitches even, don’t worry. No one is going to see it. You do want to try to make your stitches somewhat small and close together. This will make it strong and eliminate holes.

If the hole is in an outside or "patch" pocket, you simply have to find a piece of material and mend it. Cut a piece of material big enough to cover the hole and use small, even stiches to cover the hole with the piece of material.

Having a hole in your pocket is easily and cheaply remedied, so don’t go around with this problem. All it takes is a few minutes.
