REQUEST Need advice!
Hello everyone! I've recently started doing some visible mending- I've tried some sashiko-style patches as well as some work with a mini loom (I think that's what it's called!)
I've had this blanket for 5+ years now and time and my rabbit 🫥 have taken a toll. It's got 6+ holes like these and I'm trying to figure out the best way to mend. Any advice? I'd love to hear from anyone who's mended a similar fabric!

Fabric patch and stitch down and through. Then fabric on the other side felled into place to avoid too much stitching being exposed (so the threads are protected).

Thank you for your submission - you're welcome to post here, but we did just want to remind you that we would recommend you search the subreddit as well.
Depending on the type of mend, searching for keywords like "crotch", "waistband", "cuff", "pleather"/"faux", "headphones", etc. will show you many previous posts filled with helpful advice already. Good luck!
