My friend ripped his pants, so let's do a repair on them. The first thing you're gonna wanna do is clean up the rip. Remove all the frayed edges around the hole. Once that's done, we're gonna get the patch ready. I'm using this old HBT fabric and just cutting it to size around the hole. You want it to be a large enough base that it covers the hole and surrounding area no it doesn't continue to rip. But you don't want it to be too big no it's uncomfortable to wear. Once my patch is cut, I'm gonna go in and search the edges no it doesn't continue to fray on the inside of the pants. And with the pants flipped to the inside, I'm gonna place and pin my patch. Make sure you're getting that as smooth and crisp as possible. And then, I'm just gonna take it over to my machine and sew around the outside of the patch. Now, this area is a little bit wonky. You can see where I sewed and I did have to tack down a little bit of the corner of the pocket to give it some more rank. Better, ultimately, there's still a lot of room to put a wallet or a phone in there. Now, once the base of the patch is sewn into place, I'm gonna go in with my iron and try to fold in those raw edges of the hole. Some spots spots can be really tricky, so just do the best you can and try to pin that into place. The final step is to go in with a needle and a thread and do a whip stitch around the entire hole of the patch. It's a really easy stitch where you go up through the patch patch and the pants and then down and around through the patch to make a loop. If you can't see it great here because of the thread and the camo, this is an awesome picture that you can use as a freeze frame. And once you've gone around in a full circle, just tie off a knot, and then your pants are done and repaired.
