    Tenacious tape. It goes by some other names but it’s basically a fancy duct tape for fabrics. I fix a lot of merino shirts at the elbows with it.

    Cut a piece of fabric of matching color larger than the hole to place behind the hole (inside the fabric). Use stitch F with a stitch length between 1-2. stitch around the edges of the hole through the additional fabric and the bib. You might need to go over it 2-3 times. Turn big inside out and trim excess amount of fabric so it lays flat.

    Since the hole is so small, I personally would darn it by hand as doing it by hand would cause puckering in fabric. Check out a darning video. It’s so much easier to show than explain!

    Stretchy fabric works but you can use any fabric. craft stores sell patches you can use as backing.

    If you have a regular sewing machine (not a serger) it can be annoying to sew on stretchy fabric as it can stretch out and distort the fabric.

    Do you have anyone in your life you can do simple hand sewing? Check out a video- darning a hole is fairly easy and doesn’t have to be perfect. I’ve been sewing a loonnnng time and the thought of fixing a small hole like that on stretchy fabric on a sewing machine makes me shiver 😂

  4. pin it together and stich it up from the back. It’s small enough to hand stich in less than 10 minutes. If you have a machine it’ll be even faster with better stitches.

    i’ve stitched dozens of holes , often bigger than that. I hand stiched a 10 inch wrip on a Rapha jacket. It took 3 days because it was ultralight and I wanted fine stiches (and obviously I’m not very skilled).

    It’s how my mom fixed a lot of stuff, I’m sure it will totally work here!
