Title. I have thread and needles that belonged to my grandma, I’m assuming they don’t go bad? Anyway I’m looking to repair my jeans that got a hole in the crotch. I’ve literally never sewed in my life, help!

I do sashiko mending or visible mending. Using a piece of fabric if the holes are big. The stitches I use the most are parachute stitch, blanket stitch, whip stitch, backstich, running stitch (for sashiko style mending)
Thank you! Going to star this post for tomorrow.
no problem, if you have any questions my dms are open. Here’s a few more things to help get you started:

you dont have to use embroidery thread. you can use regular double thread. Jeans can be thick, if you have a thicker needle it might work better for that material
