That would be a fairly easy place to patch, too! I do like the inventiveness, though. I don't usually discover I have a hole until I'm wearing something, and this would get one through the day.

On a semi-related note, I have used Sharpies to fix bleach spots on clothes. If you have a Sharpie close enough to the correct shade, it is nearly invisible. If you feel bold, you can draw a design to hide the spot. You can also draw a design and spritz with alcohol to create a tie-dye effect.

I have used sharpies to fix WAY more things than I probably should have.

Me, too. If it works, it works. If it was broken anyway, I've got nothing to lose by trying to fix it however I can. I love looking at other people's beautiful embroidery, but I struggle with sewing. It's easier for me to either draw or patch.

I used to sharpie the scuffed heel on my right side (gas pedal) work shoes regularly. I know heel blacking polish exists, but this was before Amazon.

Oh I’m a big proponent of the sharpie shoe repair.
