I was asked to repair a rip in the back panel of this garment. As you can see, the rip was horizontal and quite long.
In this kind of rip, I will have to provide a backing layer of fabric on the wrong side, and darn over from the right side to sew the rip closed.
Although I used the thread that matches the fabric, the repaired area is visible. However, since this is a night shirt, I hope the user gets more use out of it for a while longer.
