During one of the performances of "You Can't Take It With You", Annaleigh Ashford put her heel thru her hem. It happens. This is how I repaired it.
I first made a muslin patch and using small stitches on the machine, used the zigzag stitch to anchor it down. Then, I cut away the excess.
Next, I hand stitched parts of it down, like the trim.
It looked like this close up.
And further away, it looked like this. One would never know what happened from stage!
