By none near me, I really mean it. I live on Oahu and nothing is coming up unless there really is someone here on this rock that does it and I just don’t know about it. I was thinking of maybe shipping my garment to a store that does invisible mending but I just don’t know who accepts shipments like that.
Hello! Would anyone have good tips on products or ways to durably mend sneakers? I keep having this issue with sneakers of ‘net’ type material as this one, which are otherwise almost new!
I have tried a strong tape (as in picture) but unfortunately it falls off very quickly… TIA!
hello. my bra was accidentally put through the washer and came out with a small hole on the lace. i believe the lace is resistant since it is meant to be worn so im wondering how i could i fix it? the hole isn't big but I'm concerned that it may get bigger. I'm considering a small patch.. I saw on Amazon there's some small black heart ones that would look nice. or should it be sewn? or am I done for :(
hi! i’m new to mending and i was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to fix this jean pocket. i don’t have a machine so any hand sewing ideas would be great!
I have a hole (about 2-3 inches wide and tall) in a skirt of mine, I love this skirt and made it myself so I feel I need to fix it. I don’t particularly want it to be TOO visible, but I can’t do invisible mending. My current plan is- fusible interfacing on the inside, then cut a square of the fabric (at least I still have some!) and zigzag stitch all around the edge on my machine. Does that sound alright? Thank you!
It’s a small hole (smaller than a penny) but the fabric is very flexible (polyester, rayon, spandex) and I don’t know if just using regular thread is a mistake. These are my favorite trousers and I even thought about buying similar fabric and getting another pair made. I wouldn’t mind the mend being visible!
As the title says, I cut a hole in my dress and I'm not sure how to fix it. I have a little bit of experience in hand sewing but not enough to know how to fix this while making it look as seamless as possible. Any specific stitches people would recommend?
How to fix this?
Hi yall, I thrifted this jacket years ago and it is one of my all time favorite jackets so I want to take good care of her. As you can see the top of the lining is beginning to separate. How can I mend this?
This shirt was bought online and arrived with this indent from the tag. It really bothers me, is there anyway to get it out?
I have a small tear in my shorts (90% polyester and 10% elastane). Wondering how to repair these so the tear isn’t as noticeable and so it doesn’t get worse? Is there a patch I could place on the inside that would do the trick and hold up in the washing machine?
L-shaped tear around right leg knee portion of Levi jeans Is this able to be invisiblly mended? These were work jeans and an MVP for many years 👖
Don't want to be too quick to let these go
My 5 year old loves to crawl around and pretend she’s a kitty, which is adorable but is wearing holes in the knees of her leggings and cotton pajama pants. Any ideas for visible or invisible ways to mend and reinforce those little knees on soft fabrics? Kids pajamas aren’t cheap! My thought is to sew a soft patch on the inside or use the softest iron on reinforcer I can find. But I wanted to check to see if there are some inventive and crafty parents out there who have better ideas for reinforcing knees on soft pants for kids.
Help: I ADORE this robe. How do I repair it without damaging the thin viscose?
I'm open to stabilizing/backing, but I'd like to not lose too much of the swish of the fabric - how do I avoid getting a stiff (or scratchy) spot behind it, if reinforcing is the way to go?
I'm happy to do my own googling if folks can point me in the direction of types of stitches, potential backings or whatever seems to be workable solutions. Thank you!
hey! i just bought a dress that i’ve been obsessed with for three years now but unfortunately i can’t find it anywhere. it’s a pink viscose dress with red sleeves. i snagged the only one i could find for $4 but the reason it was so cheap is because the seller has accidentally bleached the fabric by hand washing it – so there are tiny light spots scattered all over the dress.. i imagine the only way to fix it is to dye it in a darker colour, but could a dark blue or green work? it’s so colourful and pretty now so i’d hate to have to resort to dyeing it black. i imagine the color blocking makes dyeing it harder :/ any ideas would be helpful! i’ve even thought about going in with a fabric marker but matching the two shades feels near impossible
