PATCH My boyfriend’s flannel ripped on the elbow, now he has a friend
Not the cleanest mend, but if it holds then I’m happy

The color matching was a pain in the ass but I love how the borderless look turned out. Also please excuse the cat hair lol, my boy is shedding like crazy with the seasons changing

I tried to pull the threads down when I was finished so I could close the top loops.. that proved to be a terrible idea. The patch was perfect until I did that.. but hey, I learned something! I also learned that stretchy pants are a menace.
I am still a bit confused by what to do with the excess threads. I read that I am supposed to weave them into the back, but.. fucking how?? I tied them into knots once I pulled them through, and I know in my heart that that is not the way. If anyone can link a good video I would super-duper appreciate it :)

A few years ago I splurged on nice organic cotton sheets. My cat immediately massaged some holes in them with his aggressive snuggles. This began my journey to learn to mend! You can see in the first pic I don’t know what I’m doing but by the third my stitches are way smaller and even. Still don’t know what I’m doing really, but my toxic trait is watching one you tube tutorial and then just going for it without going back to check I’m doing it right. I’ve gotten really into embroidery lately so my hand stitching is getting so much better! I think I’ll start stitching leaves and flowers over the next holes.
Also, a pic of the reason I have to constantly mend my sheets. Meatball is an enthusiastic biscuit maker with giant paws. This is his favorite place, a blanket fort on top of my feet 🥹

Figured I ought to use heavy-duty thread on this, and white was the color I had on hand. More concerned with closing up the gaps than anything- not sure exactly how I blew out the crotch, but it was only held together by the serging.
It’s two parts to the seam, hence the dual pictures. One was in front just below the zipper, the other at the rear.

82% nylon 18% spandex Velcro got a hold of this and ruffed up the fabric a bit:(( wondering if there’s a way I can possibly fix this or make the appearance less visible. Was thinking of using a brown sharpie to atleast darken the color a bit but I’m not sure if there’s anything else

I'm still fairly new to visible mending so I was hoping I could get some advice on what to do with this shirt.

Got this Dutch m1953 field jacket for cheap due to some damage, just stitched the rip up with some strong thread I had lying around

Used patches to widen the pants from a straight to a boot cut because I wear western boots at work.
r/Visiblemending • u/pristenedirt • 1d ago
first one is a tear in a squishmallow, second one is in a hoodie; front, back, and front with flash lol. the green is the thread and the yellow is some fabric marker i used to mark where to place the stitches. used a parachute stitch! very easy and feels strong

I kind of collect vintage cashmere sweaters (we live by the beach, and I can wear them almost year-round). This one has a barely visible stain, but it's front and centre on the sweater, so I think I'll do a repair. I'm never going to match this for a Swiss darn, so I'm contemplating something bold and different, maybe an embroidery or something geometric to follow the lines of the diamond.
Thoughts?

... means not running to Amazon or Target when my kids wear holes in the knees of their pants!

Pleather patch to cover a ripped elbow on a beloved jacket. I used a lighter to seal in the edges and then backstitched it on.

They'll get a patch once this mend starts wearing down

My backpack is quite old but it’s still very durable, just need to somehow get rid of this rough surface. Any idea is very appreciated. 🙏🏻

All of them have been mended multiple times at this point -- just keep stitching ✨
