I have a winter jacket that is starting to develop small tears along the bottom edge and cuffs. I know the tears are small, but I want to keep them from getting bigger, especially since the coat is still in good shape. Any suggestions? I’d prefer invisible mending, but I’ll settle for visible if need be.
I'm pretty crafty but this has me stumped. I'm not sure if sewing it or getting a knit picker would be best. I know I can't do much with the print but I'd rather the stitching look as good as I can get.
Bought this merch of my favourite racing team, costed me a fortune, isn't even 2 weeks old and out of nowhere today - I saw this. It's a super small cut, like half a centimetre, but it's in the front of the jacket, next to the zipper. Please help me out and tell me the ways I can fix it. I know I won't be able to make it invisible but how to get it to the closest to invisible?
I think it's polyester, the material.
I’ve tried to mend on my machine before and it always rips right next to the mend! I’d probably rate myself at intermediate beginner on the machine for little projects if that’s helpful to know. My husband has an active job and goes through pants so fast, so I want to learn to do this right. How would you go about fixing this?
I usually baste a patch of similar fabric on the back and just go back and forth a bunch on the machine. I have a darning thingy but haven’t had the chance to use it and have a baby so my time is pretty limited for quality hand sewing right now..
Any advice is appreciated! ❤️
A few different YouTube videos show mending the hole with a denim iron on swatch and sewing over it, and some show using a scrap fabric and sewing over it— what’s the best way to do it? Any difference in longevity/ Is the only difference one is cheaper? Thanks!
I do not have any traces anywhere in the closet or eggs around :/ ....
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on the best technique in fixing this small hole on a knitted cardigan please! This is a bought item and arrived like this, was not knitted by myself.
a lot of my shirts are thrifted and this is where they tag them. unfortunately, they're rough when tagging, and tear the weave )rather than going in-between), which leads to these holes that form and grow under the neckline in the back. i am meh at hand sewing, and pretty good at machine sewing.
Like the title suggests. I just wanna know what would be a good stitch for this sweater. I have the ecru cotton thread
is this saveable? if so how should i sew it?
So I had a paving slab tip up under me and I went flying. The suit is vintage, houndstooth and I love it. Is it possible to repair this at all? I don't mind if there is a slight visible stitch mark - most people don't look too closely and I wear a suit most days. But, before I give up on this suit entirely, is it at all possible to get this repaired?
