Got a pesky hole in your favorite piece of clothing? Here’s a quick DIY fix to not only repair it but make it look stylish:
- Start by marking the design you want around the hole on your item. Inside this design, draw some crosswise lines so that the hole ends up between the lines.
- Prep the backside. Attach a piece of cotton fabric to the wrong side of your garment and pin it in place.
- Using embroidery thread, hand-sew along the marked lines with a backstitch.
- Carefully make small cuts between the lines and trim away any excess fabric close to your stitching.
And hey, this technique also works wonders for patching up kids’ ripped knees – they’ll be the trendiest kids on the block!
