To level up Tailoring in Project Zomboid, you must add padding and patch holes in your clothes. Start by right-clicking a clothing item you have equipped. 

Doing so will open a tab with a list of options, and you will need to click the one that says Inspect. Clicking Inspect will then display a menu like the one shown below. 

You can patch both holes in clothing and add padding inside this menu. To add padding to your clothes, right-click a section of the clothing item and click add padding. 

If you want to patch holes in clothing, do the same as padding, but find a Patch Holes option after right-clicking. But before you can add padding or patch holes, you will need a needle and thread. 

Luckily, you can get both Tailoring items by searching the following locations in Project Zomboid:

  • Medicine Cabinets - NeedlesSheds - ThreadStores - ThreadVehicles - ThreadResidential Homes - Sewing KitsCabinets - Sewing Kits
