Begin sewing by pushing the needle through the skirt, starting with the needle on the inside of the skirt.

Starting on the inside of the skirt ensures no extra thread is exposed on the exterior of the skirt once the repair is complete.

Leave approximately 10 cm to 15 cm of thread on the inside of the skirt.

You do not want to pull the thread completely through the hole as this would not allow you to form any stitches while sewing.
