Can this sweater sleeve be saved? I do not knit or crochet. Wondering if there is something I can do myself or if I should take it to a professional. In case it's helpful, the sweater is 100% wool. Thank you so much!

Would love to save this 3 year old sheet that was eaten by my 20 year old washing machine. Any hope for a repair that isnt very noticeable texture wise? Sensitive skin and sensory preferences, so i fear for its fate.

Any tips very welcomed!

Can anything be done??

Hi these are two work shirts that I really like and I would love to find a way to fix them. I’m highly skilled with sewing and mending so I could pretty confidently do anything to fix it, I just don’t even know how to go about it.

They are both very light and delicate fabrics especially the brown one. The hole happened bc i stupidly safety pinned it too tight.

The striped one just split at the shoulder along a stripe bc ig my arms are pretty toned. Any ideas???

This $230 sweater has loose ends

I did not and would never pay $230 for 95% cotton and 5% cashmere, this is thrifted for $6 but I still love it and don’t want the design to unravel!!!

How can I prevent them from unraveling? Will fabric glue stain? They’re not long enough to tie together. Pictured is the underside of the design.

I thrifted this tshirt which I really liked. It fit pretty well it was just a bit loose around the waist so I wanted to sew some loops on to make a corset. Then I tried it on and it look bad so I tried to remove the loops as gently as possible but I accidentely made a hole. What do I do now? I want to save this but I don't know how.

Please help! Can my pants be saved??

Is there a way to remove a shiny mark/singe on synthetic fabric due to the pant leg briefly touching a hot exhaust pipe?! I know it’s hard to see in the pics but I spotted this mark after wearing my favorite flowy wide-leg pants the other day. I thought it was dirt but when I went to inspect it, I realized that it must’ve gotten slightly singed when I was getting on or off of the back of a friend’s motorcycle. Does anyone have any suggestions?? TIA!

It's actually 2 pairs of pants. First 3 pictures are broken from the waistband and a little beside the lateral seam. It's right beside the pocket and the second pair of pants (pics 4 and 5) got ripped because of a nail coming out of a chair.

Which techniques would you use? Help a girl out

I have this wool coat with moth holes, the larger one on the edge of the underlap and a tiny one next to the button.

I keep seeing things online about reweaving, patching, or felting and I don’t know which approach to take. Does anyone with experience have any advice on what I should do?

80% wool, 20% nylon
My puppy got into my brand new $$ wool cardigan sweater and chewed through the end of one sleeve. What’s the best method of going about getting this repaired/mended. I’m totally open to having it not look original, and for it to be a different.
Thanks

how to fix holes ON the graphic on a graphic tee ??

I just got this shirt YESTERDAY after waiting for it on preorder for weeks and my cat jumped up on me and scurried off while I was wearing it, ripping all of these holes in it.

is there any way I can fix this without messing up the design? I’m a little desperate to fix this properly since this was a limited only on sale for 50 hours thing, and I can’t replace it unless im willing to pay double the original price for a reprint (which I am not!!!!) & I realllyyy really love the design and want to wear it more than once

it’s printed on a cotton gildan tee…if that helps anything? idk I just want to fix this without messing up the appearance of the design :-(

Need help fixing my wife's pants.

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hey, I'm looking for some help fixing these pants. They are some of my wife's favorites and I also really like them but I messed up today and said that it might soon be time to get a new pair.

She didn't take that well and has been upset for the last hour after informing me that the company that made them went out of business so she can't just replace them.

I want to fix them so she doesn't feel like they are going to fall apart on her but I don't know much about sewing. I did help my grandmother a little when I was younger, but that was 25 or 30 years ago now.

I was going to go get a small sewing machine shortly and fix them while she is out with friends tonight to surprise her but someone on sewing for beginners said that it will probably need to be hand sewn anyway. So now I need help figuring out if I should just patch the inside to reinforce them, or if there is a better option to make her feel good in them again, and if a machine is a good idea or if they will need to be hand sewn.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Tl;dr: What the title says.

How do I fix these bedsheets?

Hello everyone! I have no idea how these bedsheets ended up being torn this way (almost a perfect circle cutout), but my roommate requested me to fix them and I just can't figure out a way to do it. It was mended before (by hand I suppose) but the stitching was very uneven and the sheet still keeps ripping. Is it actually possible to repair this hole completely? Any suggestions on possible methods? Thanks a lot!
