My dog ate out the entire crotch of these jeans and I want to fix it, but I don't want it to look awkward. I also know it needs to be durable since its a high friction area. Any wisdom? 2nd pic is the culprit.
so I thrifted this beautiful Gothic looking shirt the other day and on the side it has this lovely lace thing going on, but I noticed that one of them is damaged. it’s holding on its last breath and I’m wondering, how can I fix this in home setting considering the fact that I have zero sewing experience, but I’ll try my best ))
The only thing I came up with was to get some threads (maybe the ones that they used to make the friendship bracelets I have those) and just sew on some hoops of the same size as the rest of the lace, if that makes sense. I don’t mind if its gonna look bit off up close cuz no-one will notice it anyhow
I have a hole in the mesh of my sneakers and I'd like to find a way to fix it, at least to cover the inside and also to not expand it. Thanks!
1st pic - quite a bit of my mattress binder unraveled. Foot content freebie --- you're welcome
2nd pic - my first section of mending
3rd pic - my second section of mending. By this time I had learned some lessons and went in with a plan. You can see the difference in quality and consistency. Very proud.
Each of these sections took over an hour (I put a movie on and commit to mending for the entire movie.) The better-looking second section was more time consuming; you can see that it's much shorter in length. I have several more feet to mend. I set a goal to do one section a week.
If I had something like a thread stapler (Threadler™?) it would really speed things up. Do you think a stitch quick / handy stitch could handle this? Or a sewing awl? I'm currently using a large curved upholstery needle and holy shit is it tedious.
I am reusing the thread from the mattress but due to my ineptitude I will run out long before the project is finished. Any recs for heavy duty thread before I resort to dental floss? TIA
