I accidentally cut the body when cutting zip ties. It’s a very tiny cut but now I feel dumb lol. I have never done this before! Do you guys think it will be fine or does it need to be stitched? Or should I replace the body all together? It’s not a sale, just for my niece.

If I have to see something that might have some tension on it I use fray check on each side of the cut or rip first.

Whip a couple stitches in it, it’ll be fine.

I’d just stitch it up. Especially since it’s not for a sale.

I would stitch it up to be safe. But…it is too unsightly you could cover up the repair with a cute embroidered decoration in a baby theme. They are at Walmart for pretty cheap.

Look on YouTube for the ladder stitch. That stitch works great on small holes like that

Oooh yeah you could totally iron on a patch like a heart or something

Just do a few whip stitches, it will be fine.
One of the reborns I bought had a little snip like this that was repaired by hand. I overlooked it, but would have preferred if it had been mentioned to me before the sale.
Bottom line, it shouldn’t fray out or lose stuffing and it’s a gift for a family member. I’m sure she’ll love it anyhow… I’ve also done lots of repairs of stuffies by hand for children. They always still love them and are happy they are fixed.

A patch there would probably be more unsightly than a few stitches with matching thread.
But a heart patch on the chest would be so cute, like Raggedy Ann has.

Iron on interfacing on the inside would close it invisibly but I like the idea of a little applique.

Tear Mender is great for little things like that as well.
I keep a bottle on hand at all times.

If it was for sale I would replace the body. For me or family/friend I would stitch it.

What is Tear Mender?

It is an adhesive glue for cloth. It dries really fast.
