Whether you've bought it or made it, seams are notoriously the first thing to go on a garment. Maybe it's because the fabric has worn or maybe the overlocking wasn't too great. Either way, we've all been there.
And, with an effort to prevent clothes ending up in a landfill (when all they need is a quick fix!) We've put together a little tutorial on how to fix a frayed hole at a seam, so you can (you guessed it!)... stitch it not ditch it.
