How to Repair a Small Hole in Cotton Clothes

Small holes in cotton clothing often result from destructive hooks or termites and insects that feed on tiny holes in clothing and are usually no bigger than a pill. They are easy to repair and become imperceptible after fixing. Big holes are more noticeable, but there are always ways to hide them so you do not have to throw your favorite cotton outfit for one or two small holes.

Instructions

1. Examine the garment to find small holes to repair. If necessary, mark each hole by drawing a circle with the pencil, a marker or a piece of chalk that can be easily washed.

2. Take the garment you are repairing and take it to buy a spool of thread that is the same color as the garment or the damaged part. To select the thread more widely, visit a craft shop or sewing. 

3. Cut a piece of cotton thread from your arm's length for small holes measuring less than 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) in diameter. Thread the needle, bend the thread and make a small knot at the end. 

4. Turn the garment upside down, hold the piece up and join the edges of the hole. Sew long stitches over the hole instead of making it around to cover the gap without making the seam visible.

5. Unfold and stretch the piece before securing the thread once you have finished mending it, this ensures that the cotton does not curl around the siege you just fixed. Put the threaded needle underneath the previous points and cut the excess rope. Repeat the entire process in another small hole.
