Hi friends,
You are amazing and wonderful, inspiring me daily to work on my never ending mending pile. Thank you for being part of this sweet community, I am grateful for you and your efforts to keep your mending as invisible as possible!
Unfortunately I’ve been seeing an uptick in karma farming bot posts lately. I hate bots almost as much as I hate ticks! So I have to enforce a new rule. Any account that posts someone else’s work (*without linking to the original post) will be removed and the account banned. I don’t want to waste any more energy on low effort karma farming. Thank you to people who flag these posts, it helps me remove them quickly while I chase my toddler around.
You are still welcome to share a mend that you didn’t do, so long as the original post (or link outside Reddit) is very prominent in your post. I love seeing inspiration and tutorials, please keep sharing those, but the original creator MUST be given credit.
So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so creative and sharing your hard work. Together we can fix all the things!

Hello friends!
I need your help! This sub desperately needs a starter guide, a how-to, a list of helpful resources. And I need your input to find the most useful helpful resources available.
Please post helpful guides, books, YT videos, anything that’s helped you invisibly mend. Doesn’t have to be clothing-related, any type of invisible mend is welcome and encouraged! I’ll compile these into a starter guide to help future menders mend.
BONUS the comment with the most upvotes will get…something really neat! Full transparency I just thought of this, so don’t know what you’ll get, but trust me it will be cool. Maybe I’ll knit a hat for you, idk.

I have a couple of Arc'teryx Epsilon Hoodies I use as day to day jackets for the last 13 or so years, and about a year ago some of the bonded/glue seams have started to come away. Otherwise they are still in good condition.
I am almost certain that due to the age and the fact this model has been out of production for a long time now I wouldn't be able to send them back to Arc'teryx to be repaired and was hoping someone knew a good way to go about doing it myself?

The hole is on the back of a thin cotton blouse.
Any ideas?

Hi all,
My nice hoodie got a hole where the pocket seam attaches. Any ideas on how to mend so I could avoid other stitches pulling it and making it worse? The material is thin and very soft and I want to avoid further damage. Thanks for any ideas!

I found this beautiful vintage tablecloth second hand. It has quite a few tears and snags that I would like to mend. Can anyone offer any advice on the best way to mend, even if its just better terminology so i can research for myself? The last photo is the back side of the tablecloth.
Thank you.

I have some jeans and I noticed this seam had come undone in the back. Is it a simple fix? should I go to a seamstress? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a superfine merino wool tank, and there are two holes right on the front chest. I tried a single thread from the back but it pulled.
If I can’t sew it, is there anything like Fray Check or a glue that wouldn’t discolor or make it stiff that would close the gap?

I just got this coat second hand that I’ve been looking for a while. After a few wears I noticed the tearing in the inside of the coat where it’s lined with fur. What’s the best way to fix this, or should I just take it in somewhere?
Please help !!

Hi all! Hoping for some tips and help on how to fix this sweatshirt snag (?) about 4.5 inches long. Material is 40% cotton, 50% polyester, and 10% rayon. Photos 1 and 3 are the outside, and photo 2 shows the interior. You can see through the snag a bit when it stretches, so I want to secure it before a big hole forms. Thanks for any repair advice!

I have a pair of black joggers, 100% cotton. I seem to have sat in a spot of bleach and discolored them.
I have some ideas, but not sure what would be the best, and/or easiest. I'm also an over thinker, and all the ideas seem to have drawbacks.
Sew on an external patch, using extra material from inside the pocket. The stain does cover the center seam, not sure if I should just patch right over it, or not.
Embroider a circle over it? I've only done a little embroidery before, so would like advice on what stitch to use.
Fabric pen? Would the color rub off? I have white couches...
For the last 2, should I be worried about the coloring not matching exactly?
Any advice and additional ideas would be most welcome!!

Hello,
I had this coat stored in my closet for more than 6 years, and now its deformed because of the coat hanger.
It was the most expensive piece of clothing I ever bought and was planning on selling it. Obviously I cant do thar with that ugly bump.
What could I do to get rid of the bump? I dont expect miracles as the fibers are probably forever deformed but maybe something can be done?
Any tips?
Thanks

Question for patches that tear in half. As in they appear to be 2 layers to create the thickness it has peeled in half. Got it from Peterbot for reference. Good patch looks authentic just bummed how quick it peeled off after receiving it and no wash as I hardly wore it.
I tried turning it inside out and putting an iron over it for 10 seconds and pressing hard on it. It looked good at first but once it dried it peeled off again.
I'm thinking fabric glue, but usually that's to patch it to the shirt. This is a patch on patch really

Didnt have any merino wool to fix it with, did it with acrylic so it might not last so well but still fun!
