r/mending

Hi. New here. So my dog chewed a flannel shirt i have, which has EXTREME sentimental value to me. I genuinely feel like i might cry. Here are photos, with a pen for scale.

The hole is on the side panel, and the rip is along the bottom of the back of the shirt.

I know i could just do a patch for the hole, i dont even mind if its a visible mend, but i have NO idea how ro go about repairing the rip on the back. I am freaking out. I dont need it to look perfect i just want it to look like it isnt ripped. Again i know itll be a visible mend because theres no way i can find a match for this fabric, i just want it to look fixed i guess.

Sorry for any typos. Again, i am really freaking out.

Its 100% cotton if that matters.

My dog ate out the entire crotch of these jeans and I want to fix it, but I don't want it to look awkward. I also know it needs to be durable since its a high friction area. Any wisdom? 2nd pic is the culprit.

Hello, I have this vintage leather jacket and I want to repair the sleeve. It appears to me that it originally used cotton thread to finish the seam and I want to use a thin needle(forgot the name) with a nylon thread to resow it. Any ideas on how I should try to sow the arm back? Thanks.

so I thrifted this beautiful Gothic looking shirt the other day and on the side it has this lovely lace thing going on, but I noticed that one of them is damaged. it’s holding on its last breath and I’m wondering, how can I fix this in home setting considering the fact that I have zero sewing experience, but I’ll try my best ))
The only thing I came up with was to get some threads (maybe the ones that they used to make the friendship bracelets I have those) and just sew on some hoops of the same size as the rest of the lace, if that makes sense. I don’t mind if its gonna look bit off up close cuz no-one will notice it anyhow

One fabric is woven & the other is a more standard cotton. Any help is appreciated!

I tired to mend this blanket, I think it’s a cotton or linen material, but the hole just opened back up. It’s from my cat who loves to run around on our bed, any thoughts/ techniques to try to fix would be appreciated!
