"Secret seam": how to gracefully seal a hole in clothes with adhesive tape

No matter how I try to wear things neatly, any wardrobe items are torn every now and then. Often, one awkward movement is enough to create a hole in your favorite shirt or blouse. If the defect is not eliminated as soon as possible, then the hole will increase significantly in the foreseeable future. Ultimately, everything can boil down to the fact that the piece of clothing will become completely useless. It can only be used on rags.

What you need: thin needle, thread, scotch tape

There is a hole in your favorite shirt, but there is absolutely no time for serious sewing? If you have threads and needles at hand, as well as scotch tape, you can quickly solve the problem by making a "secret seam". To do this, the damaged item of clothing is first turned inside out, and the place with the hole is leveled as much as possible. The edges of the gap formed overlap and overlap.

A small piece of scotch tape is applied to the hole, then using a needle and thread of a suitable color a knot is made at the very edge of the defect, after which the needle is inserted into the hole from the front side along the line break. We pass in front of the applied scotch tape and leave again 3-4 mm from the beginning.

Next, continue stitching along the entire length of the gap. We try to make them as small as possible. When this stage is passed, the thread is thrown over the gap on the outside, and the needle is inserted strictly opposite. The operation is repeated. In this case, the needle should not pierce the tape. Having reached the end, we tighten the thread so that all the stitches made are hidden. If everything was done correctly, then there will be no noticeable traces of clothing repair.
