Basics: Ripped jacket & loopstitch how-to

Click to tweet: http://clicktotweet.com/3Q4q7

Just a basic tutorial this time, here I show you how to fix a ripped seam and do a loopstitch.
Ripped seams happen most often in jeans, jackets, sweaters... it's a rip along the seam.
Loopstitch is handy for buttonholes and a really clean seal that doesn't pucker fabric.
Later I'll upload a video that shows you what to do if you have a hole in the fabric that is not along the seam, but I hope this is helpful for now.

Wow the way you did it sooo neat really makes the coat look brand new like nothing ever happened to it! I have a really small whole rip on the right arm of my newly brought jacket. I would take it back but I have misplaced or lost the receipt unfortunately :( lol. I was wondering if you had a way to make it dissapear? As you said this can of rip is really had to get to because it's inside. If you could come up with any suggestions I would be very grateful!
