How to Repair a Hole in Workout/Yoga Around the Groin

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

15 - 25 minutes

Introduction

In this guide I will show you how to sew a ripped pair of yoga pants at the crotch. You don't need to know how to sew, but a basic understanding of sewing is helpful. The thread in this guide is a different color the yoga pants to provide contrast in the pictures. However, you should use a similar color thread to your pants, so the thread doesn't stick out.

Tools

Step 1

Take the pants and put them inside out.
You want the seams to be showing.

Step 2

Take the sewing pins (if the hole is big) and pin closed along the seam.
This should take no more than 5 pins to do.

Step 3

Take the thread (make sure it is the preferred color that matches the pants) and thread it through the needle.
Make sure to leave a large tail at least 20 inches.
Tie the two ends together into a small knot.

Step 4

Insert the needle into the fabric from one side until you can see the needle on the other side.
Pull all the way through.

Step 5

Take the needle and put it back through the fabric a short distance from where it came out originally.

Step 6

Continue steps 7 and 8 until you have reached the other end of the hole.

Step 7

Once you have finished sewing the hole, take the thread and tie a small knot at the base of the thread.
Cut thread and reverse the pants to check the seam.
