so im not sure this is the right sub because im not really mending anything with the swirly. but i really really love it and im not sure how to make it look good.

ive mended a few socks and cuffs in the past and recently my brother gave me a hoodie that needs some love and i have been having fun getting back into it! but i am no expert. i did two swirls and both got all tight and stuck out like a cone when i was done. do i just need to lessen my tension or do i need to split my thread thinner too?

bonus pic of the cuff i have been working on that im actually happy with! thank you!

my jacket lining frayed through in a couple of spots at the collar. the first hole was more of a linear tear so i did a blanket stitch around the edges, then just sealed it up with satin stitch. the second hole was larger, so i figured i'd try honeycomb darning. i like it a lot, it makes such an interesting texture!

Der Wolle/Seide Schal meiner Tochter hatte ein Loch, und bevor es größer wird habe ich es gestopft. Sie hat sich als Abdeckung eine blaue Blume gewünscht. Ich liebe diese kleinen Stickmotive. In wenigen Minuten gemacht und trotzdem wird direkt ein Unikat aus dem Kleidungsstück.

Hiya, I've got this hole in the shoulder of one of my favourite tshirts, it's quite big (don't want to risk stretching the material but think I would be able to get up to my knuckle on my first finger), it's just far enough away from the seam that I can't put a new seam in, and the t shirt is too thin to get away with a patch.

How do I mend this without taking away too much from the soft and flowy aesthetic of the shirt? I've never done any sort of embroidery before this, and would really appreciate recommendations on what to do/good youtube videos to follow. Would also appreciate any colour recs as the shirt is a mix of red/purple and idk what colours would look good 😅

If all goes well I have a few other clothes that could do with some mending/upcycling so advice on getting started in general would be wicked

Thank you!

was in a rush to dry my shirt and held the hot blow drier too close which melted(?) holes into the fabric

the fabric is really thin and stretchy, do i need to use stretchy thread too?

is it possible to do multiple fixes (ie, per hole) or would it be more secure to do one big fix?

Can anybody advise me on how to fix the pockets and collar on this jacket. Additionally I think I will cover the shoulders with a large patch because I have completely worn the corduroy down. I’m not very experienced, so any help with names of techniques and even pictures of things you have done would be a great help. Thanks in advance!

Eu estou com um projeto de upcycling de roupas jeans em bolsas e mochilas. Quando cheguei no interior e vi a calça do meu tio toda rasgada, eu fiquei babando, mas como ele disse q é de trabalho, para ajudar o meu avô na roça, decidi fazer o favor de remendar (visivelmente, claro, pois estou sem a minha máquina de costura aqui e também quero q eles lembrem de quem fez rsrsrs).

Em breve postarei o resultado!

I'm curious if this can be mended in this spot where the seam meets. It's where the shoulder hem meets a hooded part. I've avoided washing it since I don't want the hole to grow. What would be the best way to start repairing this area so I can keep using this hand-me-down given to me by my godmother. Any guidance in this from experienced people with mending? Thanks! :)
