Sashiko on T-shirt fabric?

Post image

I’ve got all these holes in my work T-shirts, but I’ve never done mending on stretchy fabric before, only denim or cotton - is there something important I need to do for mending this type of material? Should I use a similar stretchy fabric for the patch or do I use a stable layer like cotton? All advice gratefully appreciated!

If you crochet, I've seen smaller versions of the web design. Or, after anchoring, you could embroider a figure. Have fun! 🖖
