Thank you! What if I put something like an embroidered patch over it? Or would it just look bad?
Personally I love visible mending such as embroidery, as I think it gives character and history to a well loved garment.
I would suggest putting leather under the tear with glue to strengthen the area, and then do some decorative stitching over it for added security and design!
Thank you! ^.^
