How do I repair a rip

Oh yes and it's eazy as pie. Here where I live in Canada we have a store called Fabricland where you can buy anything from material to buttons and bows. I'm sure you must have a material shop in the US. Ask for iron on interfacing. Cut a piece the size and shape you want but don't forget to round off the corners so it doesn't peel off. Make sure the injured part of the pants line up and iron this on to the inside of the pants with the glue part down. When you look at the right side of the pants you can't see where the problem was. My Grandson had school pictures done and the class picture was OK but they had to have retakes and naturally my daughter wanted him wearing the same top as he had on in the class picture, but guess what the little darlin had a run in with a pair of sissors and a nice big cut on the front of his T shirt. I told my daughter it could be fixed. She said no way that could be sewed and not look terrible. I had the white stuff so I just went and asked if it came in black and thankfully it does. Grandma saved the day!!!

Buy one of those iron on patches and put in underneath (on the inside of the jeans). I've done this before and if you do it very carefully the tear will hardly show!

Get some fuseable web for appliqué (it has glue on both sides)and find a color cotton fabric close to that of the blue jeans. If you use the regular patch it will be too heavy for your jeans and cause it to look patched. I don't know if Aleene still makes the dry glue that you can use an iron to set, but that has been ideal for any of the patching jobs I have had to do. Anyhow, if you use the double faced fuseable web with the fabric it should hold.

If the seam is right next to the teeth of the zip then its going to be pretty hard to repair.Maybe you know someone who is handy with a needle and thread who can put you a new zipper in..and at the same time repair the seam.There are a lot of people around who do alterations and repairs

I'm another one to recommend those iron-on patches or interfacing. Iron them inside and go over the rip with thread of a similar color to prevent the patch from coming loose. My mom used to put the iron-on patches inside the knees of our pants and reinforce them before we ripped them out, and the knees were usually the only place, by the time the jeans were retired, that looked good!

that is exactly where my jeans always rip and it always happens to my favorite pair of jeans of course it couldnt happen to a pair that does not fit perfectly i usually just take a really big thick strong needle and use some of the stronger cross stitch string instead of just regualr thread i try to match the string to the color of the jeans so it is not as noticable then i just stitch through the seam but unfortunately the other side of the rip (not where it is closest to the seam) will start to rip and the whole will just get bigger and bigger
