Repairing holes in a polyester onesie/kigu
(pawb.social)
So I've got this chipmunk onesie that I really love - great for parties, festivals and chilling at home. Unfortunately the other year I managed to burn it in several spots when holding a sparkler a bit too close (wearing this around fireworks was a dumb idea - I was slightly drunk at the time).
I'm wondering what the best way of repairing this would be? should I pinch the holes closed and just sew them shut? Or cut out a slightly larger slit to sew across a neater edge?
There are also some invisible stitches/darning if you have similar color thread
Thanks - do you mean something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbE5hXt27uU
I tried to find a picture and was unsuccessful. That video is good for seams. Something like this: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/z7YH2fjRVAE
Oh perfect thank you, that's exactly what I needed. Are they using a ladder stitch in that video?
Good question. I know it’s not a ladder stitch but I’m not sure if the stitch itself has a specific name. Maybe a running stitch?
Yeah it seems to go in and out of the fabric in that way - almost like a drawstring bag around the hole. I'll give it a go :)
