@laumapret @valhalla Apologies for the shakiness, it's cold so my hands don't work and Karvinen was licking me. 😆 In any case, put a patch in, redraw the fabric edge at that spot only, then straight seam (with hand or by machine) and fell the seam as per Bernadette and historical techniques by hand. The edge of the patch can be sandwiched within the seam. Any kind of thin fabric will do for the patch, if it's going under it doesn't even need to be linen as long as it's not black. (Though patching with whatever you have at hand is also historically accurate...)
