How to repair small moth holes in a favorite soft, cozy and warm sweater. 
I got one one of my favorite sweaters out of storage,and it had holes!!! Arrgh!

So.... find all the holes. Very simple, of course.

I bought a package of butterfly iron on patches and covered each hole with a patch. I thought it was appropriate and funny to cover moth holes with butterfly patches. All you have to do is follow the directions on the pack. 

Wear the Repaired Sweater

Here's the finished sweater, with six patches altogether. Three are on the front and three are on the back. I really like the colors of the butterflies on the gray sweater.
