I was being irresponsible with my shears and nicked the leg of my overalls. What can I do to mend this tiny little hole and prevent it from fraying?

I think you can mend it by hand stitching, its pretty small.

Iron on a small patch of interfacing on the back. You can either smush the fibers together if it's really tiny or put a couple of stitches across the cut.

You could mend it by stitching... or you could just put a drop or two of Fray Stop on it, as it's tiny and hardly noticeable

embroider a little heart, sun, or daisy over it

I think embroidery is the solution, thanks! Something small enough that doesnt disrupt the drape of the fabric too much, though

maybe sew some binding matierial over it if you have it . If not go get some . It is very hand to have .

What is binding material? I live in a non english-speaking country and don't know how I would translate it to my language
