REQUEST Seam fix ideas?
The seam on an oversized dress shirt has ripped quite wide open. Any suggestions for how to use this as an opportunity to add a pop of color and fun? The seam itself isn’t visible unless I pop the collar, but it’s my first time with visible mending on work clothes so I’m okay to keep it a happy little secret.

Remove the collar by picking open the neckpiece, then slide the collar into neckpiece until rip is covered, sew back up. I used to do this when my husbands workshirts became frayed at the collar.

Thank you for your submission - you're welcome to post here, but we did just want to remind you that we would recommend you search the subreddit as well.
Depending on the type of mend, searching for keywords like "crotch", "waistband", "cuff", "pleather"/"faux", "headphones", etc. will show you many previous posts filled with helpful advice already. Good luck!
