How to Fix the Crotch of Jeans
I often get asked about repairing jeans, particularly holes at the crotch. Denim is not really my area of expertise, but I do repair my own jeans.
I’ve tried three different ways of repairing holes at the crotch, two by hand and one with a sewing machine, and here they are. I hope you find them helpful!

1: Darning Jeans
For small holes, where the surrounding area has looked ok, I’ve tried darning the holes at the crotch. I think I used embroidery thread or maybe silk- whatever I had to hand, in as close a colour match as I could find.
I made sure my stitching extended onto the area of fabric surrounding the holes to strengthen it.
This is a fairly time-consuming way of repairing jeans, and I think it’s effective for very small holes at the crotch.
What’s great about it is that it doesn’t add any bulk to the jeans and you can’t tell it’s there when you wear them.
My pre-recorded darning workshop will teach you different approaches to darning, and while shown on knitwear, you can apply these techniques to other fabrics like
