How to make it
1Trim the hole
Snip off loose threads around the hole. Don't make it bigger.
2Pin the patch inside
Turn the clothes inside out. Pin the scrap over the hole.
3Draw guide lines
Turn it back. Chalk straight lines 1/4 in apart across the patch area.
4Stitch the lines
Sew small running stitches along each line. Load 4 or 5 stitches on the needle before pulling through.
5Cross stitch it
Add a second set of lines going the other way for a grid. Knot inside.
Leave the thread a little loose at each turn. Tight thread puckers the fabric.
