I met a man on the subway who wore fantastically mended clothes. So I complimented him on them and told him I also try to barely buy anything new. He said his goal is for the clothes to eventually only be patches, and I replied Me Too! I asked to take a picture of our legs next to each other. I also gave him my businesscard (I sell mending supplies in Scandinavia) in case he needs something.

He had to get off right away and it got a little stressful but people made sure he got off in time. would have loved to talk to him more

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to repair these scratches? This fabric is made of 100% polyester. Thank you. https://ibb.co/Yb5mYyR

I have had this necklace since I was a very small child and finally the cord has started fray. I'm very sentimental about every part of this necklace because it was scattered across a beach and my dad scavenged each part and all the beads for me.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how this could be repaired? Is there any sewing technique or anything that could secure it?

I don't mind at all that it will be visible as I think repairs just show something is loved, but I really would like to preserve this cord if at all possible.

Brand new here!

I know the rip is huge 😅 it's halfway across a king size bed. I have a whole extra fitted sheet for patching and I'm ready to put in the work.

My question is: is this too big of a rip for me to be able to repair it in a way that it will be strong enough for daily use. I don't need it to be pretty. Just very strong. Thanks everyone!!!

(Please no judgment!! I'm happy to share the story for anyone who's curious to know how it got this bad 😅😅)

I am the most amateur person holding a needle to have ever existed, but I'll no longer be shoving my foot through my duvet in the middle of the night! I feel like it has a bit more personality to it as well~

...will last a little longer! This is the one big patch, from leftover matching scraps...but did all over little mends for the "spa treatment" lol

Still new to visible mending but I just patched up a sheet corner using a piece of ripped pillowcase.

id like some ideas for what to do here. im thinking of maybe a bunch of little flowers, but im not sure how well itll turn out with how close they are to each other. ideally ill be able to do something visible (not just fray check!)

It's a basic v-neck T shirt, but it's so comfortable. There are two small holes (blue circle) and two stains (white circles). Is there a good way to mend this shirt that won't look strange because of the locations? Thank you!
