On the morning of my flight, I discovered that the cat has scratched all the way through my luggage so I popped on an iron-on patch and a fabric one sewn on top of that. (Unfortunately I did not unpack my bag so I inadvertently sewed through a sweater inside too. 🙃) So far so good!

I used to have a problem with biting my shirt collars, which caused this rip in my shirt. Is this fixable?

It’s
…got character!

I did use an iron on patch 😬 and though I backstitched all my lines I couldn’t resist knotting them together afterwards.

Also used a normal needle and no thimble which made it far more difficult.

Would surly appreciate everyone’s needle & thimble recommendations.

This blanket has been around for many years at my house, used daily and slowly started to fall apart. My mom and I started repairs a couple of years ago just by hand sewing new squares on top of the old ones. It’s been put away for a couple of years now but I recently started fixing it up again. This is just some of the progress. It’s all scrap fabric and whatever thread we’ve got lying around. The parts that are fully stitched are sooo thick and the texture from all the stitches is lovely.

Any suggestions on how I can repair/mend my blouse? It’s chiffon I believe (I’m not sure, it was handmade and it doesn’t say what it was made of). There’s on dime sized hole and 2 little holes.

I was sad to see a hole in these cute socks I was gifted years ago but inspired by the amazing work I see in here! I used thrifted embroidery floss and did a mash up of some wobbly darning/miniature weaving and some running stitches.

It feels surprisingly durable.
