Tips for Mending Work Uniforms

Tips for Mending Work Uniforms

Maintaining your own uniforms? Here’s a quick tip on how to mend those holes!

Some companies rent their uniforms, and others purchase them. Some maintain everything about the work clothes, and others have employees take them home. If you are saving on costs and are keeping your own work uniforms, there may come a point where you will need to fix some rips or holes. Here are several tips for mending work uniforms, even if they are heavy-duty!

Wash Thoroughly

Begin by making sure your work uniforms are completely clean and dry. If you wash them yourself, be sure to follow the washing and drying instructions completely. If you have tough stains, don’t fret! There may be a way to get rid of them! Here is an article on this very topic.

Sew By Hand

The modern times would have you believe that sewing by machine is the best and only way to sew, or even that sewing is not masculine. However, anyone surviving on their own will know that the ability to sew is a practical life skill that can come very handy in times of dire need. Sometimes, a sewing machine cannot reach the areas you wish to mend easily, so sewing by hand is the best.

Use Appropriate Thread

You will also want to use the right thread. Check the garment and see what material it is. If possible, find a thread that is of the same material. For example, you will want to use cotton thread for a cotton shirt. If it is a heavy-duty outfit, you will want to use thicker, stronger thread.

Learn Different Stitching Techniques

Did you know there are different kinds of stitches? There’s the running stitch, the backstitch, the basting stitch, the fell stitch, and so many others! Different kinds are suitable for different purposes, each kind giving the fabric a different kind of strength or function.
