The Amazing Way to Fix a Hole in a Sweater

What I expected: a tutorial. What I got: a demonstration of skill.

I don't sew, knit or crochet. I will probably never mend a sweater, yet here I am 6am, coffee and watching YOU, mend a sweater. Fascinating!🤗

I am a 65 y.o. seamstress/tailor and have done this and yes with patience and practice born of necessity and experiencethis works beautifully. Well done!

This is fantastic! As far as the "fancy needle" goes, you can just use a small crochet hook. But this is also called a latch hook. It's made for hooking rugs.

This few min video is a reflection of years of expertise. The ability to judge proper yarn length and tension is what makes it so captivating and appear effortless.

Aside from the fancy needle that I've never seen in my life, the tricky stitches, and complicated loops, this is the simplest hack I've ever seen! 🤭

Beautiful work. This reminds me of my Irish uncle who was a bench tailor for 75 years. I had the pleasure of watching him work several times. One time he did a simple job of hemming pants and he was like a human sewing machine. I was astounded at how fast and how precisely he worked. After he was done, I couldn't even see the stitches. He was the last in a family of tailors back to at least the 18th century. Whenever I'm home in Ireland, people don't call me by my surname. I'm known as Robert the Tailor even though I've never done one stitch. That's how strongly we're associated with tailoring.

I am a 34 years old straight male. Idk why the algorithm showed me this, but I can not imagine doing this If I tried to do it in every spare time I have for the rest of my life. Kudos to you ladies and your tiny hands.

This is a great tutorial. Some people have commented that they would just go buy another sweater. They are missing the point: people are way too wasteful. If this sweater wasn't mended, it would likely end up in a landfill with millions of other clothes that people just throw away. Mending a sweater to continue wearing it, or to donate it to charity (ie a homeless shelter), saves money and prevents more waste. Plus, new sweaters and clothing cost a fortune! I wish I had known how to do this to save favorite sweaters of mine in the past. I like how you used the blue thread to provide a good contrast, so people like me can follow along to save their own clothing. Thank you for making and posting this video! 🙂🙂🙂

How was this done right in front of my eyes-each step with perfect crystal clear filming and yet I still have no idea how she did that.

I had no idea you could replicate the stitches so seamlessly like this! Amazing!!!

I love this so much. I’m 17 and trying to take care of the things that I love. I’ve been raised to throw anything away that’s in anyway torn, worn, or dull. I want to thank you for this video. I’m fixing my favorite turtle neck from 2012 that I got at a thrift store. I wear it so often in the winter that the armpits are worn all the way through. I can’t wait to give it new life. This is something i’m going to teach my children. After this project, i’m going to embroider “boner garage supreme” on a pair of booty shorts. Life is good

This is absolutely incredible. I’ve been knitting & crocheting for 55 years… and I KNOW the incredible skill it took to make this repair. I consider myself intermediate in skill, but I do not believe I could do this without intensive patience and multiple attempts. I can replace a zipper….but I know to leave it to someone better than me. Similarly, I suspect that I would have to leave this job to younger fingers & clearer eyes. I hope the recipient of this repair appreciates the fine artistic skill required.

Высший пилотаж!!! Целую Ваши руки, милая дама! Далеко не у каждой в наш век они золотые. Уважаю за умение самой ремонтировать вещи, а не сплавлять их мамам и бабушкам в надежде починить.

Beautiful repair. This talent used to be much more common in earlier days when people respected their clothes and expected them to last for many years.

This is amazing! I've been farming holes in socks and sweater elbows forever, but coming across this video totally changes the game. I'm excited to try it and thank you so much for posting.

I don’t need to fix a hole in my jumper , I just like watching how well done this is. Beautiful work

Holy Moly!! That is Amazing 👏 Thank you for teaching us how to mend a sweater. Just can't get over how clean and perfect that looks/is! 🙂

Mega gut!!!! Endlich ein Beitrag wo das ganze Stopfen gut aussieht. Vielen Dank für die Idee. ❤❤❤❤❤

Oh my goodness, what did I just watch?!...That's amazing....and that needle 🤯 I've never seen such a thing before 👏🏻👏🏻
