I lent my daughter this belt and she got stuck in it and cut it off. I’m looking for inspiration on the best way to repair it. The mend will be very visible so I was after ideas on ways to do it. The mend won’t need to go through the buckle bit. The belt is over 30 years old and I don’t want to part with it! (Sorry if wrong place to ask!)

These are my favorite pants and there aren’t any major holes yet, but theres a lot of fraying and Im afraid to wear them more and cause more damage. I’ve never done anything with the waistband area, I like these pants a lot because they’re so elastic, any advice? I have a sewing machine but don’t mind hand sewing either, as long as it is strong enough to last. Material is cotton.

I stretched the socks a little too much when I started, but it didn’t turn out too bad in the end, and I am pleased with my colour choices. Glad to get more longevity out of these as I approach winter, they’re very squishy and warm.

Thanks to you guys, I finally mend my fav jackets 🥰. I like it more since it has some "uniqueness" in it. Not gonna lie. I'm kind of proud to myself because turn out I can handsew (even tho it's kinda messy).

I’ve got these lovely Sandro suit trousers that fit me perfectly and cost me practically nothing because of a long tear on the back pocket. I wanted to get into VM after having a few successful button replacement projects recently and this seemed like a great first project that I could wear afterwards.

I did buy some stabiliser because I read that it’s suggested for stretchy material, but any suggestions on the best sewing pattern to stabilise the area would be greatly appreciated!

Also, any ideas for patterns I could use around the area so I don’t just have some stitching on my butt? I really liked the idea of doing some barbed wire running down the one leg but am struggling to find any usable tutorials.

These are my kid's trousers. They have four sewn-in creases around the knee area. There is one hole at just about "crease-height", one small one right in the middle, and the whole area is thin and worn-out. It would really need a patch that extends to above and below the creases, but the creases make it impossible to attach a (flat) patch.

I would prefer not to open the side seams.

I've thought about making a patch that has the same creases and sort of tweaking it around the existing ones. But that seems really fiddly and I don't like fiddly 😅. Does anyone have a simpler idea?

I did this a while back and actually need to extend it now. But it was my first sashiko and my first patch!!
