How to Mend: How to Repair Holes in Pants by Darning with a Sewing Machine

By letter2self on November 9, 2022



HOW TO DARN A HOLE IN PANTS

Learn how to darn a hole in pants using the darning stitch on a sewing machine. If you do not have a darning stitch, another decorative, zig zag or straight stitch can be used.  The finished result is almost invisible.

Darning a hole with a sewing machine is quick and easy.  For this tutorial, we make a patch to place on the inside of the pants and then darn on a sewing machine.

Some of my favorite shorts ended up developing holes near the pockets.  While inspecting the holes, I noticed that the fabric was starting to rip on the sides of each pocket on the back of the pants.  This must be a weak spot in the fabric because of all of the layers in the pocket flap.

Instead of getting rid of these favorite shorts, I decided to mend them by machine darning over the holes.  I patched both sides of the pocket since I could see it was starting to develop holes.
