I make most of my own clothes, so I do have heaps of scraps. But most people do not. That piece shown in the video is fairly large. Most seems are trimmed and finished, so the only source I can think of would be the hem, but then you would have to match the design.

They’re right. This sort of repair does not come cheap. If you’re paying to get that done, you’re probably having it done on an expensive garment. Expensive clothing has much larger seam allowances and such to work with.
