Moth holes...what can be done?

[NorCalPiper]

I have a question. Say a kilt has a couple of moth holes-How do you "mend" this issue?

Josh, I would surmise that the three options would be:

• Small/Tiny Hole: Leave it as is...or add a couple of stitches to keep it from getting bigger...or, alternately, some of that anti-fray stuff
• Medium Hole: Darn it with like colored thread (from the kilt fabric if possible), much the same as you would a sock
• Large Hole: Insert a piece of the kilt fabric (salvaged scrap from inside somewhere) and blind stitch from the back...would probably use some kind of fusible adhesive too

Or at least that would be my approach.

...then there's always the expensive and tedious process of reweaving. I'm sure you could find someone local who can do it...if you're willing to pay through the nose.
