The Mayor was put to the test during a visit to the newly-established East End Manufacturing Ltd in the capital.
But his attempt at sewing clearly got the better of the Conservative politician, despite close support from more experienced hands.
Pictures of Mr Johnson showed him exasperated at his effort with the luminous yellow cloth.
The Mayor dutifully signed the 'finished' garment, before quipping that it could be used as a codpiece, the traditional cover for a man's crotch favoured in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Mr Johnson has become famous for his ability to look daft during seemingly stock photo opportunities.
The image of him stuck high on a zip wire during last summer's London Olympics was played around the world.
He previously was photographed falling into a river while collecting rubbish.
The gaffes, though, have long been credited with earning him favourable press and public support rather than the ridicule most members of his profession have come to expect.
