You’ll Need:
- tape
- thread
- thinnest needle you have
Directions:
Step 1
To start, turn the fabric inside out, then align it well with the torn sections connected. Next, cut a small piece of tape and place it over the torn area to hold the fabric in place. Turn the fabric back and straighten it out. Now, thread your thinnest needle and start stitching. Put a finger at the back of the torn area for support, then start the needle from the inside above the hole, between the tape and the fabric. Next, needle a very small area of the fabric, and without pulling the needle, make the same small stitch on the area beside. (There should be a very small distance between the stitches.)
Step 2
Repeat this, making small stitches, then increasing the width of the stitch as you go to the widest part of the hole. (The thread should always be on top to avoid overlapping with each stitch.) Once done, slowly pull down the thread until no thread is visible. Remove the tape on the back, then bring the needle to the wrong side and lock the seam. Cut off the extra thread and you’re done!
