DIY jacket collar repair

Yes, I am again about clothes repair! This jacket was “crippled” by my husband at the end of last winter. I wonder - how do they do it? The youngest of my men has no difficulty in tearing a turtleneck or trousers, and the older one presents such “surprises” with other clothes.

Sometimes, I am very jealous of girls' moms!

In any case, just throwing away the torn thing, my hand does not rise. You have to invent 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 made of a different fabric.

If you also have 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 on repair.

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

I find more or less a suitable piece of fabric (jacket fabric), cut out a long strip.

Its dimensions are determined taking into account the width of the lower edge of the jacket: the length is equal to the length of the lower cut of the back part, and I took the width so that the strip covers the torn edge on both sides, plus allowances for the width of the seam.

The result is a strip about 50 cm long, about 15 cm wide.I duplicate it with non-woven fabric

Carefully remove all protruding threads, put a glue web under the cut sections and gently iron it, fixing the edges of the gap. You can, of course, do without this technological operation, but it is safer this way.

Immediately I iron the edge of the prepared strip inward on three sides - a long one and two short ones (the layer of the fabric to be sewn is thick, so unnecessary pressing will not hurt, and it is much more convenient to sew along the already fixed edge).

I mark the center of the backrest and the middle of the strip, for precise alignment of parts.

To reduce the thickness and to avoid bias grinded materials, chipping off the fabric along the bottom edge of the jacket.

I apply the prepared strip with the right side to the seamy side of the jacket with a non-ironed cut! and grind.

View with an already sewn strip.

Then I wrap the bottom of the jacket with a strip, first I pin it, and then I line it exactly to the edge.

The result is this new bottom edge of the jacket.

And here is the "updated" jacket itself. I AM stitched the stitched strip along the bottom edge jackets in the middleto better secure and make the edges tighter.

The jacket can now be worn again, and I have to wait for the next "surprise".

This repair method is well applicable when needed. repair torn edges of clothing - bottom, bottom of a sleeve, hem, collar, etc. in other cases, when the product is torn off the edge, it is better to use appliques, various patches or patches... More on this in the next article. Stay tuned!

In clothes, the collar stand and the collar edge along the fold-over part (fly away) are most often worn out.

If the collar along the line of the stand and the fly-off is significantly worn out, then it should be completely replaced. To do this, the collar is evaporated, ironed out and a new collar made of the same material is trimmed along it; sometimes a new collar made of a different material (velvet or fur with a low hairline) is put on women's and children's products, which is, as it were, a decoration in the product.

When there is no material for a complete replacement of the collar, then it is repaired. To do this, chalk lines mark all the worn-out places of the collar (stand and turn-down part), their edges are trimmed, and then grinded with a regular seam. The seam is ironed out and the entire collar is ironed.

In addition, the collar, which is not unbuttoned from the product, is ironed in order to give it the necessary shape, lost during the wear of the product, as well as the ends of the hem along the sewing line of the collar.

After that, the collar is trimmed to clarify the shape or size and the upper collar is connected to the collar in the usual way.

If the collar post is very worn out, then it is cut out along the line a-b-c and replaced with a new one, as shown in Fig. 31, I.

Rice. Collar: I - before repair; II - after repair; a, b, c - the line of tissue damage along the collar; d, f, - seam line of sewing new fabric to the collar.

When the stand is slightly worn out, the collar is stripped from the lining, the worn out places are plastered and hemmed to the lining with hemming hand stitches.

With a strongly worn edge, it is repaired as follows. Along the edge of the collar departure, at a distance of 2-3 cm from it, a marking line is laid, then the edge of the departure is stripped off, and the edge of the collar is trimmed along the departure: in a coat by 8-10 mm, in a jacket and jacket - by 5-7 mm, so so that the worn edge of the collar folds inside out, but the seam connecting the collar to the neckline must be closed.

Fur collar repair... In men's winter coats, fur collars wear out the fastest at the locations of the hook and loop and at the edges of the ends and turn-down parts, as well as along the fold line of the stand.

It is recommended to unpick a badly worn fur collar, carefully select and repair the fur, or replace the worn-out sections of the fur with new ones, and then re-sew it to the product.

If the collar is made of astrakhan or lamb, then it can be repaired without stripping off clothes, by collecting and hemming patches.

It is more difficult to choose patches for a collar made of fur with low hair or from rabbit fur trimmed for a cat, since the hair on the patch in color, height and density should be the same as the hair of the part being repaired, therefore such parts should be stripped from the product.

When repairing an astrakhan collar damaged at the location of the hook and loop, the fur is stripped from the neck at a distance of 10 cm from the ends of the collar on the right and left sides, as well as along each end at a distance of 7-10 cm, starting from the sewing of the collar and the neckline. Examine the ends of the fur for strength and mark the boundaries of wear with chalk lines. The worn fur is cut out with a knife along the lines marked with chalk, patches made of fur are sewn, which in the shape of the hair curl and color corresponds to the collar being repaired. After that, the edges of the collar are sewn to the neckline and ends of the collar in the usual manner.

Before sewing on the fur collar, check the strength of the hook and loop sewing. If they are not strong enough, they are additionally strengthened.

The repair of fur collars, in which the hairline is wiped off at the edges, is carried out due to the allowances with which the edges of the collar are decorated.

When the width allowance is sufficient, the fur is stripped from the collar at the ends and along the folded part. Pieces of flesh with wiped hair are cut out with a knife, then the fur is sewn along the line of the cuts. After connecting the cuts, the edges of the fur are carefully straightened and sewn to the collar.

If the allowance is not enough for the repair, then the collar is reduced in length and width, starting from the hook and loop in a circle by 8-12 mm, after which it is repaired as described above.

This method should only be used when the appropriate pieces of fur cannot be found to repair a worn collar, or when the collar can be reduced in length and width.

Repair of fur collars and cuffs in women's products. In women's collars, fur rupture most often occurs and, less often, the hairline is wiped off (with the exception of the cuffs).

Collars and cuffs in women's products are always larger than in men's, therefore, when repairing the fur in women's collars, you can reduce the length, width, or slightly change the shape of the collar and cuffs.

When repairing collars, cuffs and other fur trimmings in women's products made of fur with lush and long hair, as well as fur for a cat, first of all, straighten the skin, and then clean the hair with a metal comb, rinse with a slightly moistened linen rag and gently rub it. After washing, the fur parts are dried and combed again.

Thorough brushing of the hairline and rinsing with a damp cloth removes dust from the hair and gives it a good appearance.

We repair the collar of a light jacket made of fabric with our own hands.

What to do if your favorite jacket still looks so good, but the collar is pretty worn out? Of course, the atelier will undertake to fix it, but the cost will be half the price of the jacket itself. Is it too hard to fix this situation with your own hands and fix the collar on your own? So I tried to do it. How did it happen, judge for yourself.

For the repair I needed a small piece of fabric and thread, matched to the color of the jacket. All work is done by hand.

First, we need to make a collar pattern from a piece of fabric. To do this, I put the collar on the fabric and circled the contour of the collar with a slight allowance for tucking in.

We cut out a pattern, sweep it away, or at least bait it with needles, pins.

We sew a seam by tucking the fabric on the back of the collar.

Near the "zipper" we go to the blind seam.

Then carefully sew the bottom of the fabric right along the seam.

In the process of work, we make sure that the fabric is not pulled together.

Collar view from the back.

All that remains is to iron the collar through a damp cloth.

Greetings to everyone who looked at my master class.

I continue with the topic of clothing repairs.

Today we are repairing a down jacket for men.

A gust of raincoat fabric in the most conspicuous place - on the back in the center.

Usually, in such cases, I look for a suitable raincoat fabric in the color of the main fabric or companion fabric (gray in this case, like on the sleeves), and make some kind of curly detail, tweak it from above to the place of the rush, or change part of the back or shelf, depending on the location rush.

In this case, let's go for the least resistance. We consider the inside of the jacket.

I liked one of the internal labels with the manufacturer's name, without unnecessary information, black. The size is sufficient to close the gust.

Fits in the side seam of the lining next to the inner pocket.

We will tune this label directly to the rush.

We look where to rip the lining so that it is convenient to adjust, as well as whip the label.

In the photo - the inner part of the jacket, the back, on top - the collar, below - the yoke, which is adjusted to the main part of the back lining, we will rip this seam, since it is closest to the center of the back.

We unpick, not reaching the armholes of the sleeves, about 3 cm.

Consider insulation. This is a down pad made of dense fabric on both sides, if you damage it, then down will sprinkle. In the area of ​​the neck, it would be possible to rip off the gasket by disassembling the collar, then unstitch the stitch on the back that connects the raincoat fabric with the gasket, and stitch the label only on the raincoat fabric, then restore the stitch again and collect the collar - but I will not do this, since the work is very laborious and time consuming.

Therefore, we will adjust directly to two layers, the front raincoat fabric and the gasket.

First, we evaporate the desired label.

To save time, we unpick only the seam seam, do not touch the overlock stitch, but simply cut the label close to the overlock seam.

This is what comes out of the face pad.

Sew the seam that we ripped open to cut the label.

This is what it will look like from the front of the pad.

Then we glue the glue with a cobweb, glue the raincoat fabric directly onto the gasket.

We align the side edges on the label, ironing them to the wrong side, the upper cuts of the labels are usually sealed, so they can not be folded.

We outline the center on the label and the center on the jacket.

We apply it to the back of the jacket.

We have already glued the gap, now you can glue the label (this is done so that during the sewing process, the details do not move relative to each other).

Customize the label by pulling the lining from the inside of the jacket.

Now you need to stitch the lining.

Since we have violated the initial technological sequence for assembling the jacket, it will not be possible to simply stitch the yoke onto the back of the lining, otherwise the seam will be on the front of the jacket on the back.

Therefore, we fold the back yoke and back lining inside out to each other and grind with a seam with closed sections.

As you can see, the entire jacket is left to the left of the seam.

Sew at a distance of 1-2 mm from the edge.

Iron the seam, a slightly damp spot is from the iron.

The main thing is that all wet-heat operations can be carried out only through an iron pad (gauze, thin cotton fabric).

No matter how many clothes requiring repair fall into my hands, I am convinced that everything is ingenious and simple!
That's how it turned out this time. A neighbor-client brings an autumn jacket, asks to come up with some kind of patch.
It, of course, only seems (to her!) That there is only a patch, and there is nothing complicated about it.

Here in the photo you can see, a shred was torn out from the side, the collar, by the way, was also in a shabby condition. And the whole jacket seemed to me somehow faded or something.
Well, what kind of "patch" can we talk about ?! And I will probably never learn to say the word “NO”!

I began to think.

The application cannot be glued, since she is an adult girl, especially somewhere in the kidney area. The embroidery is the same.
What remains is what I love the most - to tie everything that I don't like!

I imposed these details to emphasize the texture, let's say, to give some kind of harmony and even zest.

And that's what I got.

The trims accentuate the waist and slim the barrel!

And everything seems to be simple, but there are some nuances: I had to dissolve my daughter's sweater-noodles, and then knit with thin knitting needles.

But the saddest thing is when She, that is, the client, came, and I suddenly began to stutter, mumble, and in the end I could not even pronounce the price!

By the way, I am an unemployed girl, but she is a “worker”, and she looked me in the eye like that, and I halved the price, and, moreover, for 2 months, because she has a loan!

And I have it, the loan, as if I do not!

But I'm an optimistic girl!

I love my "golden" hands and my ideas! And even though everyone scolded me so much, scolded me so much that I will never earn money, I do not despair!

I will definitely write about a cardigan made of old sweaters!

Hello. After watching the strange movie "You Were Never There" with Huakin Phoenix, in which this strict vegan, who dropped out of school because of refusal to dissect a frog, picked up fat and muscles and gathered his tail and wipes everyone with a hammer right and left, I make a final post about sewing a denim jacket.

There is very little left: trims, collar, belt and accessories.

To process the planks, you need a spare part, which is labeled in the figure below as "pick-up". I cut out 2 pieces. Width: 1.5 allowance + 3 + 1.5 allowance = 6 cm.

Duplicate, leaving free the allowance on one side.

Further, on all the details, I do not duplicate the allowances, so as not to create unnecessary thickening. If your jeans are rather thin and you feel that there is no problem with duplicated allowances - do not fool around and duplicate with an allowance.

To understand which allowance not to duplicate, but which to iron, look at the photo below this.

I pin the edge to the edge of the shelf.

I lay a line for the amount of allowance.Then I turn off the bead, iron the allowances. I cut the allowance for the selection.

I mark the height of the allowance. I have 1.5 cm.

I wrap the sideboard back. I leave the selection allowance to stick out.

You can grab the entire edge with a corner, but I left part of it so that the ledge was not too long.

If this is the second plank, be sure to check with the first for the height and length of the ledge. I put one on top of the other and check.

I twist it. Ironing out. I make a change to the side, i.e. so that the seam is not visible from the face.

Previously, the topstitching thread was only. Now the lower one too.

I turn it over to the wrong side and lay the first line along the edge of the hem from the wrong side.

I lay the second finishing line already from the face.

I measure the length of the neck - red line.

I build a collar pattern. I take the height of the collar in the middle 7.5 cm.

I cut out 2 details. I duplicate the lower collar. I did not calculate the fabric consumption very correctly and the lower collar turned out with a seam. It's nothing, but without a seam, of course, better.

I pin the lower collar to the neckline, face to face. With an arrow I draw your attention to where the edge should end.

Sewing. I iron the allowances up.

I iron the allowance on the upper collar.

The upper one is 1-2 mm lower at the edge.

I grind. I cut the allowances.

I turn it out, actively use the steam iron.

I sweep the bottom edge of the upper collar.

I lay the line along the basting in the seam groove.

The belt is a rectangle with a height of 11 cm and a length equal to the length of the bottom line of the jacket.

11 cm = 1.5 allowance + 4 outer belt + 4 wrong side belt + 1.5 allowance. When I was doing the construction, I put in a 3.5 cm belt, but in the end I forgot and made a belt 4 cm wide.

Duplicate one side of the belt.

Iron in half and allowance on the duplicated side.

I'm laying a line. I iron the allowances on the belt.

I flex my belt. The unstitched edge protrudes 1–2 mm.

I twist it. I mark the free edge.

I lay the line exactly in the seam.

The jacket is ready, there are only loops and accessories left.

These are the buttons on the legs that I bought in a sewing store.

I mark the location of the loops and make the loops on a typewriter. There is also a manual method, but to be honest, I was too lazy. I fold the jeans exactly as it should be in the buttoned state and mark the place where the button is sewn through the loop.

Buttons on a denim jacket are sewn quickly and loudly. I spread the fibers of the fabric with a knitting needle. You cannot make an incision, you just need to move the threads apart.

I put a hat on the leg and knock on it with a hammer.

Yesterday I noticed that on the back of my favorite jacket there was a hole in the substitute the size of a matchbox (.

This is most likely due to the carrying of the bag over the head (.

I love this jacket very much, while now I don’t have enough money to buy a new one (I took it 3 years ago for 2500. Good skin under the skin, it looks no different from the skin, soft and beautiful.

Question: what can be done to remove this hole? to return the wearable look to the jacket? unfortunately there is no sewing machine to sew on the application (

I’m sitting almost crying, there’s no money at all again, and then the windbreaker also deteriorated (. I don’t wear windbreakers made of rag material (.

A leather jacket is a wardrobe staple that attracts with its practicality and durability. This item always looks very stylish and complements any outfit. Unfortunately, even such material as leather is susceptible to deterioration, and accordingly, your jacket becomes unusable. In order to fix it, you can take it to the atelier, or you can familiarize yourself with how to repair a leather jacket at home, and do everything yourself.

If you decide to repair the product yourself, then you should take into account the fact that the work is scrupulous, you need to do it very carefully. Depending on the method you choose, you may need the following inventory.

• Convenient workplace;
• Glue that is designed to work with leather;
• Surface degreasing solution - you can use an acetone-free nail polish remover;
• Toothpicks;
• Bristle brush;
• Threads in color;
• Needle;
• Wide tape;
• Paint for working with leather;
• Gloves;
• Patch.

Important! When choosing a patch for a patch, it is necessary that the physical properties of the materials match.

Today, there are the following do-it-yourself leather repair methods:

• Bonding. In this embodiment, the damage is sealed with a special glue. In this case, the seamy side is also glued in order to “strengthen” the place of damage.

Important! The huge advantage of this method is its budget and speed of repair.

• Sewing on patches. Here, due to mechanical damage, the hole is sewn up with a patch. The disadvantage of this method is its complexity and the future appearance of the product, since the repaired area cannot be hidden.

Important! You can make a bright accent from the patch with the help of various accessories and sewing accessories.

• Complete replacement of the damaged area. This is a very difficult method that is used if the damage cannot be repaired using the first two methods. Therefore, if you do not have basic sewing skills, then you better turn to a professional for help.

When getting started, it is very important to consider the location and shape of the damage. The most common are "angled" incisions, and when a piece of skin is torn out completely.

1. Turn the jacket over to the wrong side.
2. Carefully open the seam at the junction of the sleeve with the product.
3. Treat the gap with a degreasing solution on both sides.
4. Aligning the edges of the gap, glue a piece of tape to the front side.
5. Prepare a patch of the required size, use glue to attach it to the seamy side at the gap.
6. Leave the product for 30-40 minutes to dry the glue.
7. On the front side, the break should be bent along the edges of the hole.
8. Using a toothpick, gently apply the glue to the seam.
9. Level the surface and press down with a load. Leave it for a day.

Important! If the gap is more than one centimeter, then after the glue dries, you also need to put a seam on it. And in order to make it less noticeable, you should use leather paint.

In order to close the hole in the leather jacket, you need to do the following:

• Using tweezers, gently insert the torn leather piece into place, fix it with tape.
• Turn the product inside out, get to the break in the same way as in the previous method (points 1, 2, 3).
• The prepared piece of fabric must be glued directly to the piece of leather.
• Remove the tape from the front of the product.

Important! Until the fabric is stuck, you can move it, thereby adjusting the leather patch placed on the front side.

• Leave the product for a while for the glue to set and dry.
• Sew the lining.

Important! If the work was done carefully, then the gap will be almost invisible.

Today, in addition to standard methods of repairing leather products, there are also new methods, for example, the use of liquid leather. Its main advantage is ease of use.

Important! You can buy liquid leather at any store with sewing accessories. And thanks to a large assortment of colors, you can choose the tone that is right for you, or mix them to achieve the desired shade.

In order to repair a cut in a leather jacket with liquid leather, you need to clean and degrease the item. The following stages of work depend entirely on the shape and size of the damage:

• Small cuts. To do this, you need to apply a small layer of the mixture to the edges of the torn hole. This should be done very carefully so that the agent does not go beyond the boundaries of damage. Gently blot the mixture with a sponge to complete the look and texture of the damaged area.

Important! If, nevertheless, during the work, the mixture has gone beyond the boundaries of the cut, it can be wiped off with a dry sponge.

• Through cuts. In this case, you first need to place the patch from the inside. In this way, you will avoid deformation of the material during operation. After the patch is glued, then apply 2-3 thin layers of the mixture on top of it, add texture with a sponge.
• Jagged cuts. If the edges of the damage are uneven, then they need to be smoothed out with a blade. Further - from the inside it is necessary to glue the patch, after which several layers of liquid skin are applied.

Important! Drying time varies depending on the type of damage and can take from 10 minutes to 8 hours.

If the hole is not small and looks more like a hole, then in this case it needs to be sewn up.

Important! In order to avoid the spread of the leather material, an adhesive plaster should be glued to the damage before working.

In order to sew a leather jacket with your own hands, you need to do the following:

1. Unpick the lining at the seam.
2. Trim the edges of the hole so that they are straight.
3. Apply a patch from the wrong side of the product.
4. From the outside, apply a second piece.
5. Sew on patches to the product.

Important! The needle should be chosen one that is suitable for working with dense materials.

The algorithm for repairing leatherette products is similar to that of genuine leather. The only difference is that when gluing, you need to choose a special glue that will match the material.This is a very important point, since the glue mixture and leatherette are non-organic products. Therefore, an incorrectly selected tool can not only not help, but also significantly spoil the product.

In order for you to succeed and the result to please you, we bring to your attention a few tips:

• Make sure the adhesive tape is good before using it. To do this, you need to glue a small piece to an area of ​​skin that is not visible when worn.
• The work must be done very carefully and quickly. Therefore, in order not to be distracted, it is better to remember the algorithm of work or write it down on a separate piece of paper, which will always be in front of your eyes.
• Make sure that the adhesive does not dry out before you repair the gap.
• So that the patch does not catch your eye too much, you can sew a few more of these over the entire surface of the product.
• Do not wet the skin. Work should only be done with dry rags.
