    Tess, ideally an appliqued patch would do the trick. You could probably find one at the fabric store but if you glue it on I would

    suggest you also stitch around it. Maybe you could find one with a happy face or something similar or humorous.

    Hi Tess. You could use Carpet Edge tape, Double sided tape with any fabric or patch, or sew a pocket over it just for fun!

    Consider why hole formed does it rub there.? Use fabric that best keeps further damage away. Consider over covering that area /strengthening with a fabric like canvas, blue jean fake leather.

    I was also considering using some of the patterned Duck tape. I can get to back of material on bottom to reinforce it...then cut Duck tape into a cute shape and apply outside of hole to make it look nice..do you think it would hold? The hole was formed from bag getting caught on something and tore
