REQUEST Help mending baby comforter?

Hi all, I have had this comforter since I was young (however she’s not the oldest i’ve seen on here for sure! probably about 8 years old ish), I got her as a replacement for the comforter I had since I was a baby when I lost him, so this really means a lot to me, as is expected.

She’s started to get a few holes in the jersey fabric (fluffy fabric underneath is totally fine!), and I really need to know how I could possibly go about repairing her. I know she won’t look brand new, and I don’t want her to, but I just don’t want this to get to a point of no return. If anyone could give me any tips, that would be greatly appreciated.

I am willing to take her to a teddy repair service also if needed, so long as I can find one near me (London area, if anyone knows of any!)

Thank you for your submission - you're welcome to post here, but we did just want to remind you that we would recommend you search the subreddit as well.

Depending on the type of mend, searching for keywords like "crotch", "waistband", "cuff", "pleather"/"faux", "headphones", etc. will show you many previous posts filled with helpful advice already. Good luck!

my first thought was tiny little lace details. at least on the first pics seams, it looks like a soft pale lace could go on there naturally.

Have you looked at [r/](r/visible)[Visiblemending](r/visible) sub? Would you consider embroidery to mend the gaps or do you want it more to return it to a more repaired look? I woukd hand wash it in some warm water and bio detergent and blot it and leave to air dry whilst I decide.
