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!

no problem, if you have any questions my dms are open. Here's a few more things to help get you started:

video about threading a needle with double stand thread + tying the knot : https://youtu.be/5-T7jvqQ6Mw

ending knot : https://youtu.be/3d3wgmqfZrE

an example of sashiko and whip stitching : https://youtu.be/HtsC7emyg90

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
