Worn and Thinned Apron

[Father Bill]

Those who wear their kilts without undergarments will leave body scents on the nearest cloth (often the underapron) that will attract moths.

Perhaps we can help a little better if we could have a photo to let us better see what is going on.

I am leaning towards sewing around it to prevent further fraying

[The Wizard of BC]

One old school way of repairing this is to find a small piece of the same fabric from somewhere like inside an apron facing.

You sew a patch on the inside - lining up the Tartan pattern - and with a felting needle join the patch to the apron.

If you are careful this will result in an almost invisible repair.

Barbed felting needles are perhaps the most secret tool of repair shops.
