Repeat step 2 about 2 more times by inserting the needle through the same hole

On the last you pull, do not pull all the way for it creates a loop. Put your needle through the loop, pull the thread all the way and this creates a secure knot.

Pick one side of the hole and go through to the other side while picking up fabric from the other side and pull our thread through all the way.

Repeat step 5 going in an upward direction until you have reached the top of the hole.

The last thread you pull through, do not pull all the way but instead put your need through the loop it creates and create a secure knot. Repeat this step about 2-3 more times threading through the same hole to create an extra secure knot.

Snip off the thread and make sure the hole has been mended. You can clean it up by trimming any loose fabric.
