Tops: How to repair a small hole in capilene polyester t-shirt?

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 06:19:08 -0700

I’ve got a hole in a ‘capilene cool daily’ polyester t shirt, only 1-2mm now but will get bigger. If it was cotton, I’d just darn it with some thread, but the knit of the polyester is so fine and the fabric very thin, I’m worried a needle and thread would damage the shirt further. Any suggestions please?

Tops: Has Anyone Tried to Fix Nylon Netting?

Thu, 06 Jun 2019 05:46:05 -0700

I have a dress that has a hole in the netting. Of Course it is in the front of the garment! I haven’t tried to fix this yet. I figure if I try and fail, that’s it.

Here is a picture of the hole:
