I have copied a garment I liked in the past, made a pattern from the pieces etc, but I'm out of practice, and it's so hard to get decent material these days.
But I did the repair this morning . I found a skirt made of fairly strong cloth, (got it from ebay and it's far too small) and a fair match. Took a pattern from part of the seat and made 2 big patches, which I machined on the inside.
After a long struggle to thread the machine - I find these front loading round shuttles very awkward to insert. You need to be lefthanded.
