Stop hole in wool shirt from getting worse? Penny for scale.
(sh.itjust.works)
A place to share ideas, knowledge and creations with textiles. The focus is on reducing waste, whether that be sewing from the scraps left from other projects, using the end of rolls and remnants, or repairing and remaking finished pieces.
If you just want to stop the hole from expanding, I'd sew a circle around it and slightly pull it together. If the hole is too big and the pulling resulted in wrinkles, I'd do 4-8 diagonal connections on the inside of the cloth (so the hole looks like a cut pizza) and then sew a spiral until you reach the middle of the circle.
If you want to turn the hole into a little art project, you can also look up 'visible mending' on the search engine of your choice.
Thanks for the recommendations!
