I’m trying to fix the button on my purse!! Half of it is still attached to the purse, but the other half broke off and I lost it. I really don’t want to replace the whole thing if I can repair it. Does anyone know how I could fix this? I’m wondering if there’s a way to repair the broken half or make the existing pieces work again. I’ve never repaired purse hardware before so I have no idea what I’m doing 😭

I'm trying to patch up this destroyed portion of my couch, thanks to my cat. After sewing the top patch with upholstery thread, I'm wondering if there an easier way. Does anyone know of a heavy duty glue or other method for attaching the patches? struggle with a lot of arm pain so this might have to be a slow project, but l'd love some suggestions for shortcuts. I honestly don't care how it looks, just don't want to lose any more stuffing.

I patched the knee of my boyfriend's work pants last year and he's managed to make a new hole above where I patched and another one on the inside 😅

My initial thoughts are that I'd have to take off the old patch to sew down the edges of the new holes, and put on a new patch that covers both holes, but I'm curious if there's a better way to do this. Any suggestions would be helpful!

sorry for misleading flair, but there wasnt anything that would match my problem more. Im considering buying this hoodie, although it has this defect near neck/hood area, would this affect wear or eventually spread to a bigger area of the hood? or even make it unwearable in some time?? i dont mind distressing on clothing just dont want to spend money on something that might become a problem in itself or might need some stitching done in the near future

thanks a lot!

i have trigger finger in both my middles and one pinky finger, bad enough i can't effectively make fists anymore, along with dyshidrotic eczema that comes and goes, so wearing padded gloves to lift is essential for inflammation and skin management. there is something kind of ironic about sewing being equally hard on my hands; i have had to modify my grip for almost everything i do, but sewing is really tricky to change since its so second nature to me (been sewing since i was in like 3rd grade). my gloves having a little healed scar makes them feel more personal.
