Cut a piece of sewing thread and thread the needle. It's better to take a bit too much thread than too little.

Push the thread end into the opening so it’s no longer visible.

Continue sewing stitch by stitch in this manner until you reach the end of the opening.

Stitch as closely as possible to the exit point and slide the needle a few centimeters through the fabric. Make sure the needle runs between the two fabric layers and doesn’t come out on the other side of the lower layer.
