Place your lamp or stopper mushroom under the hole and secure with the rubber band.

Now sew a square around the hole. This gives strength and helps you sew straight lines.

Then sew vertical lines across the hole.

Continue with the horizontal lines. To do this, weave your thread through your vertical lines. Do this alternately and continue until the whole hole is closed. Tie off neatly on the inside.

Practice makes perfect! For a beginner, it is easiest to work with different colours: one colour for horizontal and another for vertical. This way you can better see what you are doing and it also looks cheerful!

Regular holes in socks or children's clothes? Then it might be worth buying a speedweave. This is a mini loom that allows you to weave very quickly and easily. They are available in different sizes.
