  • 1 Template
  • Needle And Thread
  • 4 Pins

    For best results choose a fabric that does not fray

    Reduce the pattern if necessary to match the size of the hole
    Transfer the pattern to the fabric

    Put the cardboard in the sleeve of the sweater to avoid taking up the two layers of sweater when sewing

    Apply the piece to the sleeve and pin it in place. Sew it with a double thread and small forward stitches, 5 mm from the edge.

    Note: if the wool of the sweater is not too fragile, it is possible to glue the piece with textile glue
