Store Returns: How to Fix a Hole in Clothing

Posted by Big Brand Wholesale.com on 24th Mar 2020

So, you bought Store Returns or Liquidations and found a garment with a hole. Here's what to do!

There are only three ways to fix a hole:

1. Sew it

2. Hide it

3. Add More - AKA "Destroyed Look"

So now that you know what the three options are, let's discuss each.

SEW IT

This is probably pretty self explanatory. If you don't know much about sewing you can either try to lean (YouTube is AMAZING for this!) or you can bring it to someone who knows how to sew or you can pick a different option from the list. I don't want to put a bunch of YouTube sewing videos into this listing, but you can easily visit YouTube.com and search for "How to Fix Hole in (whatever it is)" and you will find TONS of helpful ideas.

HIDE IT

This is way more up my alley, lol! There's a lot of ways to hide a hole, depending HOW big it is, WHERE it is located and WHAT is is on. Holes on jeans are usually simple, unless they're in the crotch. Holes on shirts are also pretty easy unless they're in an armpit.

So, let's look at a few ideas to hide it. You'll obviously have to use your own judgement based on HOW, WHERE and WHAT.

There's also cut-to-size patches that can look really cool depending where you put them. Remember, you can also put a 2nd patch somewhere that does NOT have a hole. You don't only need to embellish holes!
