If you have a pair of cotton leggings that have developed holes, use this guide to repair the hole by hand sewing.
When leggings develop holes, they are often thrown in the trash because they cannot be worn. But these holes can be easily repaired, even if they are not located on a seam!
Before using this guide, inspect the leggings to locate all holes, as this guide can be repeated if needed.
