I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It’s a tiny rip, but I don’t want it to get any larger. Any advice for how I should go about repairing it? I want to try a visible mend instead of a simple patch. The tag says the shell is listed as 61% cotton 39% nylon.
There are some embroidery reinforcement stitches that might look good in there. There’s a bunch of tutorials on YouTube, see if some of those catches your eye.
Edit: a quick search in YouTube did not give me what I was thinking of. The term the you should use is “embroidery mending stitches”
