Thanks for the replies.

Can't put a snap in, so I guess I'll have to darn it by hand. Don't worry, I wasn't expecting it to look good .

If so it may help reinforce it before you zig zag stitch over it to close it all back over.
No, there's not enough room for that idea, but it sounds brilliant. I'll give it a shot if I get a hole in a more roomy spot. These holes are between snaps which are really close together because they're cross over tabs.

I'll have to just see what I can do with a needle and thread. Guess I can't make it any worse. I hope.
