Repairing trousers help

[CardGameFun]

How do I go about sewing up the bottom of these cargo trousers after an A&E trip

I have a sewing machine that I could use, but I'm quite inexperienced.

Ladder stitch by hand first? Then machine along hem? Patch on the inside?

TIA

Not going to be easy to do invisibly so you could make a virtue of that and do a visible mend. You could use iron on mending tape on the inside to hold it in place, then do something on the outside to cover the torn edges, maybe a length of ribbon or binding or trim. Visible mending v trendy so lots of videos online.

@eatreadsleeprepeat Thank you! I feared invisible mending might be tricky.

I, personally, love visible mending, but the person wearing these would not Shame.

I'm off to see if I have stashed any iron on mending tape 🤔

If an invisible repair is the aim it might be possible to unpick the two lines of over stitching on the seam next to the cut and see if you could tuck the raw edge in and resew the seam? Or you could make them into shorts😂.

Oh, what a great idea! I hadn't thought of that. Thank you!

I'm very slow. But I'll report back if that's a winner.

I blimmin' love Mumsnet 🩵 Have a great day eatsleep 😊
