My favorite jacket has 2 spots on the stitching where the thread has come un-sewed. Is there anyway i can fix this, or do something to prevent it getting worse?

Cut the loose thread and go back over the line with another stitch.

For that to work, wouldnt i need to go through the same hole on those green dots? To drag the loose thread through? Otherwise id just have the extra length of thread hanging out, waiting to snag something and make a bigger mess.
I appreciate the high-effort picture though.

this.
What you have there is a running stitch. it will continue to pull out unless you hold it back in with another stitch.
I cut the thread in half, then with a needle pull it back somewhere close to where it's coming out. That keeps the loose end from catching.

you can do it if you are careful
you can also use a machine needle
>deliver the string from bottom
>remove the string from the needle (keep the needle in place)
>move the string around the thread
>place it back to the needle
>pull the needle back with the string

This is the easiest way. If you really want to get fancy, pull the old stitch out a bit, and reef knot the new stitch into the old stitching.
But for the most part just going over the old one will be fine.

who the fuck that can't sew has machine needles hanging around
fucking just go get some dollar store sewing kit, sewing by hand is ez pz for little repairs like this

you can buy them doh

conventional needles are vastly cheaper and more common
>>1203686
well you can also use a conventional needle as told
I don't understand all this laziness and hobo level poorness
Just take it to one of those places where they do alterations and shit, they'll probably have it done within 2 minutes and it'll be cheap as fuck, don't listen to the /diy/ braintrust you'll fuck it up.

Sharing needles is even better.
