How do I repair holes between snaps on a hemp nappy?

[Possum]

Well, the title says it all, really.
Any ideas? I'm too scared to use this nappy. I want to fix it before it has a chance to worsen. The holes are on the wings of a hemp terry BBH.
TIA.

Tricky one - If its between snaps it gonna be very tricky to repair. The only thing that I can think of is to put another snap on top of the hole to stop it getting bigger. You could just darn it I guess. Either way, its not going to be asthetically pleasing, but it will atleast stop it worsening.

Can you slide a small piece of fabric inside the hole?

If so it may help reinforce it before you zig zag stitch over it to close it all back over.

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 .

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.
