Step 1
Repairing the Stitching on your Patagonia Nano Puff ® Jacket
- Examine the damaged area of your jacket. In our case we have a few missing stitches along a single line of stitching.
- Select thread that matches the fabric color on the outside of the jacket and load it into the sewing machine.
- Select thread that matches the fabric color on the lining of your jacket and load it into the bobbin of your sewing machine.

Do you think you could demonstrate adding an elastic cuff to the nano-puff? I have one but the sleeves are just a hair too short.

I got a new jacket recently and soon discovered loose stitching on the sleeve underarm.
On my precious jacket I didn’t want to use a sewing machine -sewing the two layers together- so I used a needle and the loose thread to secure the loose threads to the fabric.
This time I tried my grandmothers #12 crochet needle to crochet (knot) the threads to the secure stitches and pull the ends under.
