New to this. Most of the people I know and are in my community don't wear mended clothing (I know, I know, I need to get out more and make cooler friends). Was just wondering how people have reacted when they see you or your loved ones wear mended clothing.

(My second mend for the algo!)

It was fun to learn a new way to fix a hole (: this is for my coworkers daughter

Spilled Indian ink all over my favourite jeans :(

I don't really want to add any bulk, I'm just wondering what kind of a pattern could I do on these that would implement the black stain, keeping in roughly the same style as the embroidery that's already there. Open to expanding the stain to make it more intentional looking

My cardigan developed a couple of holes so I embroidered bugs over them. Initially I wanted to do ants all the way up the arm like a line of them but I had to make them massive to cover the holes, and the fabric was hard to work with so they look like spiders or beetles. But I'm happy I can wear it again!

This is a tear in heavy canvas. It’s the rag top roof of my 79 superbeetle. Should I put a patch on the back of it and try to darn it in the front. What ever I do I should get thread that’s fade proof . Any help appreciated

Any suggestions for visible mending it? I’m a bit stumped.

hoping for some guidance on the best beginner-friendly way to repair this jacket. i'm not familiar with textile crafts but am crafty in other ways and am willing to take on a project! i think i'd prefer to avoid iron-on patches fwiw. any other recommendations or resources are very welcome!

pics may not be super clear, but there's a large tear on the outside of the pocket. there's also wear on the sleeve that i'd like to prevent from getting worse.
