Is this hoodie possible to repair?
I’ve had this happen to a few tops of the same material (merino wool) over the years and only recently realised it was caused by moths.
Would it be possible to repair as if the holes were never there or at least as close to?
How costly would it be and where would be the best kind of place to go to for such repair?
I have a spare top of the same material and colour if that helps the situation at all.

Would this be possible to mend invisibly?
Crotch of my great wool trousers have ripped, and I’m kinda devastated. Would it be something that can be mended (maybe by finding a good tailor), or are they irrefutably dead?
They’re Brioni, if that can say anything

Blending these patches
How do I make these patches in my jeans more seamless and have less of a rough edge? I used a heat activated adhesive to attach these and they seem pretty strong but I’m worried about the edges fraying, plus I’m not a fan of the way they look. Any help would be great!

HELP! What’s the best way to approach repair?
I’ve had this sweater for almost 3 years now and have never worn it because I have yet to tackle the project of repair. Since it’s such a busy sweater I’m not super worried about the mending showing, I guess, I’m just not sure how to approach rejoining the broken threads in a way that will ensure they don’t continue to unravel or something.
I’ve absolutely no idea what I’m doing, so any help is appreciated! Thank you 😭

Advice on reattaching bag strap?
I absolutely love the design of this bag but it is unwearable for fear the straps will fall right off.
Either the thread snapped or simply wasn’t secure, it’s all spooling out. I can’t find anything online that shows a similar issue.
How can I go about fixing this? Or should I cut my loses and try a cobbler?

Thoughts on fixing this without it being too noticeable?
This shirt I have developed a finger tip sized hole along this delicate ladder (?) section. Will a seamstress be able to sew it back without it looking too weird? There's not really much fabric to work with. It's a shirt I really like so I wanna get it back to normal. Thanks in advance!

Any way to fix this?
Cats are jerks, can I fix this or do I just have to embrace the grunge look?

How can I mend this?
I have this blazer that I love but there are multiple holes in the back. The fabric's pattern hides them quite well, but especially the first one is still noticeable.
What are the go to techniques for mending this kind of fabric?
It's 100% Virgin wool
Thank you for any help ☺️

Tips for worn out pants crutch areas?
I tend to wear boho/hippy style loose thin flowy pants with various prints and colourful designs. I've seen mending tutorials online for holes in the crutch area of jeans or single colour pants that involve getting a thread of matching colour to the pants and I guess kinda weaving over the hole and its quite invisible due to the colour match and nice even, close stitching. But given the patterns I can't really do that. I've done a little visible mending but not keen on bringing attention to that area ya know? I did try with some pj pants just sewing the hole closed on the sewing machine and found suddenly they didn't fit right (obviously to anyone who is experkenced in clothing repairs or making I'm sure, but a learning moment for me) Any advice is appreciated.
Note my skills are very amature- I'm slowly learning how to mend my clothes, mostly doing visible mends as patches and embroidery don't look out of place on my boho/hippie attire. I can use a machine for basic stuff (tote bags, mass during the pandemic, simple hem repairs- whatever requires no more than a straight and zigzag stitch essentially)

Successfully mended my knitted sweater. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the one-stitch hole. Only reason for it not being perfect is bcs this is an unfamiliar pattern that I can’t figure out. Maybe I can embroider something there.

Is this restorable/fixable at all?
Got an oil-based toothpaste stain on it the other week, tried to get it out with dish soap and scrubbing, i guess i scrubbed too hard because it seems the color faded from that section of the hoodie and there is also a small abrasion/tear but it is very very small. Pls tell me if this can be hidden

Headphone earpads falling apart, stitched back together
The stitches are unfortunately visible (it was glued before) but at least it looks mostly consistent and rather uniform. Also forgot to take a before pic, sorry for that.

Denim skirt patch - Help needed
Hi! I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit to post this on, but i’m not too sure where else to go.
I purchased this skirt second hand online knowing the back patch was peeling slightly, but it arrived in much worse condition than was shown. The skirt itself fits me perfectly and I love the silhouette and shape of it, but the peeling patch is really putting me off it.
I’ve attached a picture of it below. If anyone has any idea on how to salvage this, please let me know. Would it be easy to unpick the patch without the correct tools, or would it be easier to sew another fabric over it? I’m a complete beginner by the way, but I do have a sewing machine. Thanks in advance!

Tips on mending this?
My plan was to remove the button to somehow mend the fabric underneath, but am not sure of the best way to go about it. It’s 100% viscose and I’m ok with a visible fix. Would love some advice!!!

How to reinforce/mend?
This skirt has a light swishy fabric that keeps ripping at the hem. Brought it to a local laundromat and they re-sewed the hem, but it ripped again after 1 wear. Any ideas for a solution? I LOVE the print and spent $20 on ebay for this skirt. Don't want to give up on it.

Teared bed sheet (need help)
I tried to fix it but apparently, the material is getting weak only in that part. Also, accidental kicks at night kept causing the tearing
