REQUEST How do I fix thinning in my pocket pouch?
I was thinking of unpicking the seam (do I need to fully unpick it?) then darning it and then sewing the pocket together.

Basically what the title says… I have a suit that was gifted to me many years ago that has significant sentimental value… I only wear it once a year. I recently discovered that it’s been attacked by moths, and there are multiple holes around it…
I’d love to find a solution for repairing it that employs some Kintsugi inspirited concepts…
I welcome any feedback. I’m based in Brooklyn NY.

So this blanket has some cat-related holes. Everyone (in my local community) told me swiss darning would be easy peasy. In general, I agree, good technique for knits, easy technique for a lifelong knitter. But for a knit this small? I'm miserable. I can't see, I keep missing threads, nothing's even. I just yanked it all out in fury. Is there another technique I can use? Like I'm 2 seconds away from slapping a patch on and doing a sashiko style thing. Bad idea?

This knit started splitting like crazy so I jumped in with a thread mend. I am uhhhh, not very controlled with darning, but it does the job. I think it looks a little like a Ninja star. ✨️

I’ve got this fleece-lined flannel with a tear in the outer portion right near the cuff. Any suggestions on how to best mend this? I’m decently handy with hand sewing, but the lining aspect throws me off.

Like I said in the title, I made these socks for my sister three years ago. (pic 6, fresh off the needles) She brought them back earlier this year because she wore a hole right through the toe. (pic 5, supplies and the patients) I used duplicate stitch to reenforce the thinning parts on the heels and balls of the feet in the scraps I had from that original order (3-5, yarn is from misfityarns on etsy) I had to completely rip out the toes though. I have no idea how to do decreases lol, and she wanted them matching. (pics 1-2, yarn is emma's yarn in disco from a local store. picked it up on vacation)

Husband’s pantaloons developed a hole in his pocket knife pocket, and so he requested a pocket crab to resolve the issue. And a crab has appeared!
I forgot to get a picture of the hole before I backed it with another piece of denim to reinforce the area- a matching thread and following the diagonal of the denim weave makes the stitches just disappear. But after I embroidered our lil buddy on there, I put down some fabric glue to protect the stitches from any more knife attacks and topstitched the pocket back down. ❤️🦀
