I've been doing sewing repairs for the young seagoons and it's really hard. Much of their clothes are specialist hiking clothes and made out of hitech fibres, fibres that are hard to sew. Stretchy dense fabrics and the actual material of the fibre is hard and difficult even when using a special hardened needle.

Are you using a glovers or mattress needle? I also used to find thimbles really helped (or on secondhand leather, pliers)

This is using a sewing machine.
