1. Prepare the damaged area: Place the sweater on a flat surface and align the edges of the hole as much as possible.
2. Use adhesive fabric: Crop a small piece of adhesive fabric or use tissue paper to cover the hole.
3. Fixed with the iron: Place the hot iron (without steam) over the adhesive fabric or tissue paper for a few seconds. This will help to secure the edges of the hole together.
4. Finish with needle and thread: With small invisible dots, gently sew around the hole to strengthen the repair. Make sure you don’t pull too much of the thread to prevent the fabric from curling up.
5. Cut the excess: If you have used tissue paper, gently remove the excess one once the seam is complete.
Other useful tips
6. For larger holes: Use a fabric patch similar to the sweater for a more robust repair.
7. Invisible Wire: If you don’t find a thread of the same color, use a transparent thread to minimize visual impact.
8. Decorative method: Turn the repair into a creative detail by sewing a decorative patch or adding beads.
