Dun Dun Duuuuuuunnnn!
Girls with thigh gaps cannot understand this…but for the 99.9999% of other ladies out there with no thigh gap, this is an issue. The pant material is constantly rubbing against each other when one walks. Thus, decreasing the longevity of the fibers on the material and creating our lovely friends here.
This situation happens to me with all my pants. I love my thick legs, don’t get me wrong….but why must you do this to me jeans!? I have tried countless methods of patching the holes, sewing them, and even cutting my cute jeans into shorts when they cannot be recovered. However, I am never satisfied with the results! Either the patch color never matches my jean color or the hole reopens again, etc.
Random Brain Storm: If we can use nail polish to stop the run in a stocking hole, why can’t we do the same thing with pants? Except nail polish won’t cut it. However, E6000 Industrial Glue can!
Things you will need:
1) Damaged Jeans
2) E6000 Industrial Glue (from Amazon)
3) Paper plate for added protection
4) Paper towels to clean up mess
5) Your Finger (or you can wear gloves if you don’t want to touch the glue)
Steps:
1) Turn the pants inside out. Let’s tackle the inside of the holes first.
2) Cut your paper plate if need be, but place the paper plate inside of your pants and underneath the hole. You don’t want glue damaging the inside of your jeans.
3) Place a big bob of glue directly on top of the hole and smooth out with your finger. Make sure to smother the ENITRE hole and smooth out edges. Let the glue dry over night just to be safe.
4) Next day….wham! The glue dries into this clear like patch, binding as many fibers of the material as it can.
5) Flip pants inside out again to regular side, place paper plate back under the hole, and place another blob of glue on top of that dried up hole. We are going for double-wear protection here. Let it dry overnight.
TADA! Hole is repaired and no more tears!
