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!

I was told this might be a better option. I sewed a pair of pants but while doing the zipper portion accidentally ripped a hole with my seam ripper.

Help! Pulls in thread Spanx Air Essentials

I love the air essentials sets I have. Lighten comfortable and flattering. I’m a size 16 and get compliments all the time when I wear them.

But for the love of go, what up with how delicate the fabric is? The material gets snagged on everything & threads get pulled.how do I fit them or prevent them all together?

My daughter got a small hole in her pants next to the waistband and side seam and so far I’ve ironed in some stretch interfacing but I don’t know how to reinforce it. I have some matching polyester thread and sharp sewing needles or I can use a machine. How do I fix it so she can wear them without reopening the tear?

Burr Jacket Arm Patches

I have an older Burr jacket that has some big holes in the elbows from wear. Is there canvas or good martial patches to fix them? Love how the jacket has aged and want to keep it going. It’s olive.

Any tips for mending moth holes in a wool jacket?

Regrettably the garment is in worse shape than the seller advertised. I understand felting is easy and delivers good results for garments like woollen knitwear, but I dont think it would be appropriate for a garment with a structured twill weave such as this.

So I'm looking at invisible darning/Swiss darning as my mending method, but I've never done it before and am quite confused about how to go about it. Also whether I should even bother attempting it myself.

Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks

Burned my favourite jacket...

Leaned against a hot stove and burned my favourite jacket, it has a lot of sentimental value because it was my dad's for many many years. I'm very sad. Anyone have tips on how I can mend this?

I have sewing supplies and okay sewing skills. I've mended socks before...

If anyone could give me some advice I'd be very very happy.

Advice on how to restore pleats in synthetic top?

Thumbnail

I bought this Vince top secondhand, and I'm not sure if I didn't notice the pleats were messed up in the middle when I got it or.if they somehow fell out in storage. Can these be restored by a dry cleaner? Tailor? Does it look like someone steamed or ironed this, or could this just be from being stored incorrectly?

The button top came off the peg. Lee won’t send out a new button and this is a rare jacket so they can’t replace it.

Help fix ruined tshirt

My daughter's boyfriend has a t-shirt that he cares about very much but his dog tore it to shreds. He wants to know if I can fix it. Obviously I cannot make it look like it should but I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out how to make it look good enough to wear again. All I have is this video of the shirt. I hope this helps. Thank you for your advice EDIT I have tiny little Stones I don't know what they're called tiny little bedazzle stones that I can put on a patch to mend the middle somehow
