Sewing up a torn jacket with a needle and thread is not the best solution, since the seam remaining after this is obvious. You can often close the gap with a decorative patch, but it can look awkward if the hole is located in the wrong place. The simplest and most invisible way to repair a jacket is to glue the damage with a special repair tape.
What you will need:
- glue web;
- patch fabric;
- iron.
Jacket repair process
You need to buy gossamer adhesive tape at a specialized sewing supply store. It is used for gluing fabric. To use it you need to prepare a patch. Any fabric of the same density as that on the jacket will do. The patch should be larger than the gap.
A piece of cobweb is placed on the patch.
The top is covered with a strip of paper from the tape set and ironed with a hot iron.
Then the parchment is removed and a pause is made to allow the melted glue to harden.
Now you need to insert the patch with glue into the gap, fill its edges and iron it with a hot iron.
The cobweb will instantly seal the hole securely. As a result, the damage seam will be barely noticeable.
