I can’t fix much but I can fix my husband’s slipper.

A Caucasian woman’s hand is holding an L.L. Bean suede slipper in chocolate brown. Just under the stitching line attaching the shoe top to the sides there is a triangular puncture and tear where the suede has been ripped.

The same slipper now has a sweet little woven pink heart outlined in purple chai stitch covering the tear. There’s also a wad of felt inside the shoe but I’m not gonna show you that because it looks messy af.

I can’t fix everything but I can fix these pants.

A photograph of a woman’s hand holding the waistband of a pair of grey canvas pants. The buttonhole has ripped vertically and is all frayed.

The buttonhole is repaired with a woven darn in two shades of teal, creating new fabric where the fabric tore. The buttonhole itself has also been stitched over with buttonhole stitch to reinforce it.
