Do-it-yourself jacket sleeve repair

In detail: do-it-yourself jacket sleeve repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Recently, a friend contacted me with a request to fix a burnt sleeve on his favorite textile jacket. The owner categorically refused to convert the thing into a vest, so I turned to the universal mind to find inspiration. Some of the options seemed interesting to me, and I wanted to share with you some ideas that you can use in mending, lengthening or simply decorating your favorite things.

Of course, the most common and popular embellishment is the addition of lace, braid, ribbons to light shirts, blouses, knitwear. Inserts can be made as in the middle of the part:

There are quite intricate options for designing sleeves with sewing and guipure:

Of course, one of the most popular options for transforming sleeves is cuff-themed fantasies. Cuffs can be sewn to the sleeve or simply tucked under it:

In case of holes, cuts on the sleeves, curly lace inserts can be made:

Options for warmer clothing are also found. And for my task they are more relevant.

You can transform a jacket, jacket or light jacket with the help of ribbons, braid, as well as stripes or flounces from companion fabrics. There is no limit to the combination of colors and textures.

And you can lengthen the sleeves with knitted cuffs or replace the sleeves completely!

The most time-consuming, in my opinion, but no less interesting solution: trimming the sleeve with fur. From the point of view of utility, it may be debatable, but it’s beautiful:

And finally, an idea that appealed to me unusually: simply flying crochet sleeves with fringe on a denim jacket.

Yes, me again about repairing clothes! My husband “crippled” this jacket at the end of last winter. Wonder how they do it? It is not difficult for the youngest of my men to tear a turtleneck or trousers, and the eldest presents such “surprises” with other clothes.

Sometimes, I really envy the mothers of girls!

In any case, just throwing away a torn thing does not raise my hand. You have to come up with something so that the product can be worn again.

This time I will make an “unusual patch”, rather not even a patch, but an extension from a different fabric.

If you also experience such unforeseen situations, my experience should be useful to you. And don't forget to subscribe to blog updates HERE, for sure, this is not the last article about repair.

So the jacket looked like this - the lower edge is torn, or rather, a piece of fabric is torn out!
