A small tear in clothing or a home textile may be worth repairing. The IKEA TRIXIG 39-piece mending kit (article 105.782.51) contains nine patches, needles, thread and small tools. Check the fabric and care label before deciding whether it suits a stitched patch.

1. Inspect the damaged area. If the fabric is badly frayed, waterproof, flame-resistant or technical, consult the product instructions or a repair professional before patching it.
2. Lay out the TRIXIG tools on a stable worktop. Count needles and pins, and keep them in a separate tray or closed container beyond the reach of children and pets.
3. Follow the textile's care label, then make sure the repair area is clean and dry. Check that a patch covers the opening and trim it to shape if appropriate.
4. Position a suitable patch on the fabric. IKEA advises placing it on clean material and sewing all around its edge; check whether the specific patch and fabric are compatible with any adhesive backing.
5. Choose suitable thread and stitch slowly along the patch edge. Keep fingers away from the needle point. Test first in a hidden spot on delicate fabric.
6. Secure the final stitch, trim loose thread and count all needles and pins back into the box. Wash the repaired item only according to its own fabric-care label.
