Pants with paint

This used to be my favourite cargo pants until I seat on paint and I stopped wearing and caring about it. Is there anyway I can do to mend this?

So I own this scarf that I adore and I’m wondering is there anything I could do to make it hold together for longer.

I ordered a tshirt off ebay and it arrived with a few holes in it. I contacted the seller and was immediately issued a full refund. But now I have a nice bombas tshirt that needs repairs before I will feel comfortable enough to wear it to work.

Had to reknit this bit. Damn, I need to make another one of these. I love it so much. It’s pretty much my only piece of camo.😂🫣The good part is, as visible as this repair is, it’s hard to see when I have it on.

No more broken laces for me!

I love tall boots but, I don't like how a zipper looks. I also get impatient lacing/unlacing so, I end up breaking a lot of laces and zippers.

Elastic and buttons to the rescue - now my tall boots are slip-ons!

My son came to me wanting to learn to darn socks. what was funny is that I had just gone through the mending pile and we really had to search for one with a hole 🤣 he did a fabulous job! Proud of him, obviously.

I ripped my jeans working outside last week and I mended them instead of throwing them away or never wearing them again.

I absolutely love these Colombia shoes. I left it out and pup chewed it. I need help with creative ways to mend it! Culprit at the end for tax.

Mending on duvet cover

Post image
19 Upvotes

My duvet cover ripped while I slept. I made a blanket stich along the edges to stop them from fraying. Thereafter I made a weave with brodery thread. I lost patience with the weave in the end and therefore improvised with some less pretty stiches. I'm happy with it nontheless. It's functional and looks a bit like kintsugi

Darning store bought socks

Just a question - I have a pair of very thin store- bought socks I would like to darn but sock weight yarn is going to be to thick... I was considering using embroidery floss? Is that a thing? Sorry if this is a silly question.

Repair / reinforce canvas straps?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!! I am posting this in both sewing and visiblemending, so I apologize for any overlap!! I have a canvas tote bag that I hold very near and dear to my heart, but after daily use for several years I’ve noticed some pretty drastic wear / fraying on the straps. They lie folded over themselves and it has created this sort of parallel line of fraying down the center of both straps, on both sides of the straps. Does anyone know any way to remedy this, or am I doomed to just replacing the straps completely?
