At a recent, frigid football game, I brushed up against a propane heater in my favorite, almost new, long coat. It now has a half-circle burned area (it's washable, so must be polyester) on the lower front. I'm thinking of making some decorative leaves, or curly-queus to applique over the damaged area and maybe a small applique on the upper part of the coat to make it look like they all belong there. I found some micro-suede knitted material almost the same color as the collar and cuffs. It doesn't ravel, so I thought I'd use a little basting spray to hold the shapes on and then machine stitch around them. Does anyone have any other ideas? I really love this coat and don't want to throw it out.
