I have seen my Grandmother darn holes that were 1 1/2" and once 2" but usually it was easier for her to match thread then to match a patch to the garment fabric, especially if it was a store bought garment. Just a little trivia. De
-----Original Message----- I would recommend that any holes above 1/2-inch or so should be patched. Anything smaller could be darned fairly easily. And it goes without saying that you would make the repairs as unobtrusive as possible (which will be much easier than patching a cotton print dress since there is no matching of patterns to worry about, just matching the grain). Congratulations on your weight loss.
