I have some jeans that are getting frayed in the thigh area and not sure how to reinforce it or what technique/hand stitch to use. It's a run across the fabric and nowhere near a seam. Most videos I find are for sewing machines and stuff that's already ripped. They're black and on the inner thigh so I'm not too concerned about it looking perfect. They're also about 30% stretch, don't know if that makes a difference. My hand sewing knowledge so far is holes made in fine woolens and socks. I know how to weave those together and was going to use that technique, but it's a 1.5-2" run so I don't know if that is the best solution for that much work.

Thanks for the replies! I don’t really have any extra fabric. Maybe I’ll just let them wear out and make them into frayed shorts for the summer once the hole shows + use the legs to reinforce my new ones since I already got a replacement pair. Can I just do a back stitch to stop them from fraying too much? cheese eats mouse fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Mar 30, 2020 |

Oh I meant for when I inevitably sacrifice them to the shorts gods. And I don't. NYC apartments aren't nice to people with hobbies.
