  2. I’m 62 years old and was taught to sew by my mother but I also took Home/Ec in jr high school. They really need to bring that back into the schools. I am not kidding, I had to show an 18 yr old how to sweep n use a dust pan!! God Bless America but quit dumbing down our children!!

  3. My rat decided to take a bite out of my grandmother's hand made lace curtains…

  9. Thanks so much for this! Thought my favourite bra was ruined but this saved it 🙌

  10. This is gonna be really usefull as i bought a lace chiffon cape and it had a single hole

  11. This saved my new nightgown I had only worn once. It got caught on my earring as I was taking it off. So glad I was able to get more use out of it. Thank you so much.

  12. What type of thread you use the match the fabric? Where can I get it?

  13. Good job. I’ve altered and mended wedding dresses in my younger life, but never had to deal with tulle on the dress. I’m fixing a 3 rips down the back next to a string of buttons. This has helped, Thank You

  14. Is this the same as fixing mesh? Does anyone know if this would work? I got a beautiful dress from a coworker and it has mesh cut outs but it has 2 small tears in the mesh. I totally feel its salvagable and am planning to just line everything up and fabric glue it back. Any thoughts or tips?

  15. Does anyone know how to fix fine mesh material? I’ve got an expensive gown that I managed to snag and now a small hole I put my nail through on a mesh panel on some lingerie.

  16. I just finished knitting a lace shawl and noticing a hole in near the middle.
    I may never ever again knit with Malibrigo Lace wt yarn.
    I hope this repair works prior to wash and blocking it. Tfs

  17. Woohoo left hander! Thank you for the tutorial!

  18. Why can't we use an invisible thread??
