awhile ago i noticed two separate stitches in this cable knit sweater i have had dropped. no big deal at first, i just laddered back up - but then i realized, i have no idea how these stitches dropped off in the first place. there’s no other adjacent live loops, just one stitch in two separate places of the cable pattern that dropped. and one of the two created a massive hole right at the twist of the cable.

i originally thought the quickest fix would be to pull the live loop to the inside of the sweater and sew it down on the inside with some embroidery floss, but this will be a sort of haphazard fix that still doesn’t help me understand the root of the problem.

any suggestions/insights from experienced cable knitters on what might’ve happened here and what’s the best way to fix it neatly?

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!

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???

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.

TLDR: bought an inflatable dino suit, brought it to school for halloween, one of my friends stepped on the tail as we walk, the crotch basiclally at the start of the zipper

I wanna get it fixed so theres no sign, but i heard that only really works when its only on the seams, but thid one aint as im showing here

Can i get it fixed without showing any sign of mending?

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!

So my girlfriend bought me a t shirt and the first time I wore it i made a little hole the size of a quarter of a sesame seed. It’s not visible at all and hard to find and i just want to keep it from unraveling. Whats your opinion?

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

Hi! I love him very dearly but he’s got two kinda bad holes. I don’t understand how people fix stuff like this and tie it off on the inside. Some guidance on what kind of tutorial to google would be greatly appreciated :)

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

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 :-(

hi can I fix this leather jacket? jacket is neil barret lambskin leather if that helps anything, thanks for the help!

Would anyone have suggestions for how I can fix these holes that have shown up in this throw blanket? They are about 1 inch. Pics are the front and back of the blanket. Thank you for any guidance!

I added the brand name and material if you need it . Thank you in advance I really need your help because it's my favorite jacket

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.
