Jeans with thick seams

What you need:

• Sewing kit
• Pointed embroidery needle
• thimble

You probably also know the problem of thick denim. If it is not about summer jeans, the seams are especially difficult to sew. Once a seam has opened, you can close it again with the right equipment.

Prepare the jeans for sewing

• Before you sew the seam of the jeans, turn them completely inside out.
• You should also choose a thread that matches the color if possible. When doing this, of course, pay attention to the color that has already been used for the seams.
• Alternatively, you can also use transparent nylon thread. This is particularly tear-resistant, but also a bit stubborn when it comes to sew.

Cheating the thick seams

• The thick seams are certainly a challenge, but not an insurmountable obstacle. There is a simple solution: use a sharp embroidery needle!

• Sewing needles simply break off on thick fabrics, especially if they are sewn twice, like a seam. A thick embroidery needle, on the other hand, is much more stable and can withstand this load.
• Avoid using a sewing machine to brave the thick seams of the jeans. Most of the machine's needles are quite delicate and break easily. So it is better to use the conventional "manual" sewing method.
• Now sew the open seam as usual. Make sure that you imitate the stitch technique used on the other parts of the jeans so that the patched area is not noticeable afterwards.
• To get the needle through the thick fabric as well as possible, use a thimble to protect your fingertips!
