blown out crotch | Sewhooked

Journey with me as I repair the crotch of my favorite jeans! With apologies for the random sound issues. My microphone decided this was its last video!

I used the legs from a pair of thrifted jeans with a similar stretch for replacement fabric. I already had those on hand, so this repair cost me $0 in additional materials.

You can use the seam ripper of your choice to repair your jeans, but if you like what I’m using, you can find those here:
