I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It's a tiny rip, but I don't want it to get any larger. Any advice for how I should go about repairing it? I want to try a visible mend instead of a simple patch. The tag says the shell is listed as 61% cotton 39% nylon.

Taking the pocket corner off will definitely let you make tidier stitches near the tear! Since the rest of the pocket will be attached you shouldn’t have too much trouble restitching everything back up. Please update when you’re finished, I love seeing other people’s visible mends 👍
