How to Fix a Hole in Clothing Without Sewing

by

Whether you’re dealing with a small tear, a moth hole, or a snagged sweater, these no-sew fixes will save your favorite clothes in minutes.

1. Fabric Glue (Best for Small Holes & Seams)

✅ Works on: Denim, cotton, polyester
🛠 What You Need:

  • Fabric glue (like Aleene’s or Beacon)

  • Toothpick (for precision)

  • Scissors (to trim loose threads)

Steps:

  1. Turn the garment inside out.

  2. Apply a tiny drop of fabric glue along the edges of the hole.

  3. Press the fabric together and hold for 30 seconds.

  4. Let dry completely (check glue instructions for time). Pro Tip: Place wax paper inside the garment to prevent glue from sticking to other layers.

2. Iron-On Patches (Great for Jeans & Kids’ Clothes)

✅ Works on: Denim, canvas, thick fabrics
🛠 What You Need:

  • Iron-on patch (denim, floral, or fun designs)

  • Iron (medium heat)

  • Thin cloth (to protect fabric)

Steps:

  1. Place the patch over the hole.

  2. Cover with a thin cloth.

  3. Iron for 20-30 seconds with firm pressure.

  4. Let cool before wearing.
    Bonus: Use decorative patches to turn a repair into a style statement!
