	* Hole mending: if an item of clothing (like a pair of jeans) develops a hole,		* Hole mending: if an item of clothing (like a pair of jeans) develops a hole where material is missing, you can use the following methods:
			** Quick mend: This involves cutting a patch to fit the hole, using a running stitch to secure it in place around the outside edges, trimming loose and frayed edges from around the hole, and whip stitching the edges of the hole to the patch. It will be visible, so it is recommended to use an embroidery thread and use sashiko stitches to emphasize, rather than hide, the patch.
			** Darned patch: With this method, one would temporarily affix a patch over the hole with a running stitch or pins and secure the edges of the patch using a blind hem stitch. With the patch secured in place, leave any intact threads of the garment in the hole, and use a matching color thread to first place long stitches over the hole. Then, using the same thread in a perpendicular orientation, weave through the existing garment threads and the long threads that you just placed, as well as through the backing patch.
			** Darning: Using any remaining threads in the hole from the garment, stitch over the hole with a multitude of long stitches, and then weave the thread through perpendicularly, alternating over and under the long stitches.
			*Replacing Buttons:
			**Cross stitching: Starting with the needle behind the fabric, sew through diagonal holes of the button to secure it in place.
			**Bar stitching: Sew only through adjacent button holes to secure, binding off the thread on the reverse side.
