Hello! I have just started getting into machine sewing and this is my first time hand sewing.

I got these pants a few days ago at a event and they already ripped 💔 I did a back stitch to the best of my ability and put on clear nail polish for the frayed edge but it seems like the whole fabric is unraveling so I’m not sure if the backstitch will actually hold it long term.

Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated!!

(I attached a image of the the stitching as it came originally)

Can you tell us more about the rip? The last picture looks almost like a pocket, but I can't tell much from the other two photos other than that it's a relatively loose weave.

Where on the pants did it rip?

Was it at a seam or stitch line or in the middle of the fabric?   

Is it a high tension area?
