Repairing A Pair Of Jeans: From A Broken Zipper To Buttons.
Morning dear Hivers.
Recently I decided to repair a pair of jeans that I had stored in my closet for months. The zipper was broken and every time I go downtown I forget to buy a new one. So I wanted to try and repair it with some buttons I have at home. I'd like to share the process with you.
Step 1 - To remove the zipper
By using a seam ripper I started removing the seams around the zipper, so I could be able to remove it. This time my little cousin helped me posing for the photo.
Step #2 - To sew the area of the zipper
After removing the zipper from the pants the area was open so it was necessary to sew it again to get it ready for the buttons. It was very helpful to use pins to hold the fabric in place while the first few stitches were done.
Step #3 - To sew the buttons and opening the buttonholes
After sewing the buttons, I made marks on the opposite side of the buttons so that I could create the buttonholes
If had this idea months ago maybe I wouldn't have had to leave my pants in the closet for months and to be honest, the truth is that it feels much more comfortable to wear, and now that I have learned this I've been thinking that I should repair two more pairs of jeans that are under the same condition.
Thank you so much for reading and supporting.
Best regards.

That is interesting! Making the buttonholes must have been hard work.
PS: You should add the tag "needlework", even if you post in the group :)
Hi. It was easy to make, you only need a marker to draw where it is going to be the buttonhole and then you cut it with a scissor.
Thank you so much for the suggestion, I will do it right now! ✨

Hi @crosheile! Thank you so much for the warm welcome and I appreciate all the information you gave me. I'm going to check the posting guidelines to make a better work next time
On the other hand, you just read my mind because when I was writing the post I thought of calling it "Bringing an old pair of jeans back to life" but for some reason, I decided not to and yes, it feels great to have them back. Hahaha
Thanks again. See you around 💫
