Can my sweater be fixed? :(?

Question

I bought a marino wool sweater and the fabric was kind of thin. anyway i accidentally put it in the washing machine ( we have one of those new ones that you can wash like anything in it even delecates) with undies that had a butterfly pendant on them and it ripped a hole in the sweater. my mum tried to sew the hole but the sweater is so delicate that it didnt really work. Can i bring my sweater somewhere to get it fixed by a pro? I havent seen that specific colour on any other sweater i shop for and its my favourite sweater ever!!! help!

Answer 1

What you want is French Weaving, and will probably cost more than 2 new sweaters would.  Buy new.

Answer 2

If you can find somebody to fix it, it's going to cost a lot of money.  Instead, why not go to the fabric store and pick out a few pretty appliques and have your mom applique one over the sewn spot and a couple more randomly across the sweater.  That way it would look like a design element.  You can get delicate, lacy appliques that would add to the look instead of making it look like you had to fix it.

Answer 3

Unless the sweater means something to you it would be cheaper to buy a new one than to get it repaired by a seamstress.

Try going to the fabric store get getting "iron on" stitching. If a light fabric with glue that you apply with a iron.
