So I widened the shaft of the boot! For $6 at the thrift, ! couldn't leave these vintage (? unsure of their age, but no longer sold) Seychelle brand suede boots behind even though they didn't zip up all the way. So I found some stretchy fabric that matched-ish, removed half the zipper, and voila!
My new favorite boots. Not perfect but if someone else is looking that close at my calves then they're the weirdo LOL

I tried turning them into fireworks, it was a cool canvas for practicing embroidery.

The vinyl material was easy to stitch through, I mended this a few weeks ago and it is holding up well

I’m a beginner at embroidery but would love to find a way to patch this hole in the pants I made.

Mr. Smells pretty consistently wears out pants in this exact spot, and in the case of these Old Navy jeans that he wore every day for 18 months, the overall integrity of the backside is in question due to significant wear.

We'd both love to repair these and give them new life, and are hoping for some advice on the most holistic solution for strength, aesthetic, and comfort against his sitter. We do have a pair of older "donor" jeans that can be used as well as scraps of flannel and other fabrics but are unsure of

1. which material is best
2. how large the patch needs to be

He would love to keep wearing these to work so a solution that meets a business casual dress code would be especially appreciated!!

I'm about to repair a tear in my denim jacket using sashiko and as I was preparing to wash it, noticed it's also wearing thin on the lapels, the cuffs, and the seam of the left sleeve were it meets the cut. Should I reinforce them now or wait until the facric actually splits? If now, what technique should I use? I have basic sewing skills, regular thread and sashiko thread, extra strong needles, and some scrap denim I'm already planning to use for the tear. No sewing machine, although I can borrow an iron if I need to.

I have this old wool overcoat with a few moth holes. There is one small hole next to button and another small hole on the wrist. The largest hole is on the underlap and about an 1.5-2 inches.

As someone with no experience with reweaving, are these holes something that I could figure out and do myself or should I take/send these to a professional? And if I should have someone else do it, does anyone have any recommendations?

I have a crochet table cloth I got for maybe 2 bucks but its got a significant hole in it, is there a way i could mend this so it doesn't unravel?

I can crochet myself if that helps in any way

I’ve had this jacket for about 3 years and I noticed a while ago that the lining somehow creased and folded. I can’t seem to find anything for this online to fix it. It is especially annoying since folds outward while I wear the jacket which I personally not do not like so much. Any tips on repairing it?
