I removed the embroidery on my active jacket and it left an imprint, how can i get rid of it or restore its original color

I really love these jeans and want to spend time doing something with care to mend them.

I lost my balance and fell into a garden fence. I've got about a dozen different types of garden fencing and of course I fell into the only strip of it where there is a spiky metal part on top 🤦🏻‍♀️ I didn't get hurt at all, but my favorite jeans did 😭

Kiddo has a shark towel that got a hole in it. He asked for me to fix it, so I thought it would be cute to put a little fish on it. And then, of course Bruce the shark and Nemo from Finding Nemo came to mind, so I had to figure out how to make a clownfish. 😆 I have never done embroidery before, so it was a lot of guesswork, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!!

Thank you for everyone’s help, some people messaged me for the final product and I can’t figure out how to edit the post with a new picture, so here’s the fix!

One of my hiking Tshirts got snagged during a trip. This is how my girlfried fixed it. Love it :D

I accidentally made its neck longer than the original and had to add a tree to its hiding spot, too, whoops.

My puppy thinks she is a shark and took a bite out of this sweater. It is brand new and baby alpaca wool and I’m heartbroken. Is there anything that might help with this? or is it a lost cause?

Slightly related question: does anyone want a puppy? 🤣

This was me last weekend at work, after I'd caught my pants on a hook and they ripped nearly to the ankle (so I had to tape them together for the rest of the day) 😭

They are one of my favourite pairs, and I love the Idea of some beautiful embroidery to mend it back together.

Any suggestions for someone who's barely done any embroidery at all? (But very crafty and can usually pick it up quickly!)

Thank you!!!!

and for once I remembered to get a before photo. (and a during photo!) as the title suggests it is a small darn for a small hole: two strands of embroidery floss were used for each to create a small but colorful darn.

Hello sub! These are some sashiko boro designs I’ve made this year! My art blends african textures and fabrics with Japanese boro to curate these 1of1 pieces

Let me know what your favourite designs are! A lot more to come in the future

Surface darns using a single ply of variegated embroidery thread, so tiny they went plaid. Second picture is an area where maybe one warp thread has broken so I darned just that direction on the back, very subtle on the front.

My eyes and hand all hurt.

I was going to embroider a line of little dino footprints over the constellation of holes, but I decided my drawing/ embroidery skill wasn't up to the task. While hunting the scrap pile for some old tee shirt material for backing, I found a pair of outgrown dino jammies, and it just seemed right.

It probably won't hold forever, but I think it'll give him another year of wear before the picture fades off too far and crosses the line from Distressed to Destroyed
