While I wouldn't recommend doing stitches yourself, I did learn how to do stitches using hockey tape and a sewing thread and needle that worked until they got me to the hospital for treatment.
Basically I fell off of a vehicle and because duct tape and a uniform repair kit were part of my issue, I cleaned the gash on my leg, then applied tape to both sides of the wound and sewed the tape together. Then I wrapped up my leg to hold the stiches in place and cried for my mommy until help came.
