DD#3 and her Golden Retriever have been with us for a while, prior to her May 20th wedding. The Golden Retriever has a stuffed rabbit as a toy. She had chewed a hole in the bottom of one of the rabbit's feet. My daughter (who KNOWS that I have sewn all of *her* life) asked if I had fabric to repair the hole. ::bonk head on wall::
Yes, dear, I have fabric to repair the hole. 
However, I can't just *repair* the hole. I need to do a Good Job. So, I made a flower unit from 1/4" hexies. QUARTER INCH HEXIES. Good gosh, 1/4" hexies are **small**! But, the rabbit has a cute little EPP flower on the sole of its foot.
This photo is a picture of the damage with preliminary repair work: I stuffed the hole with more fiber fill, inserted a piece of muslin under the tear and whip stitched the torn fabric to the muslin.
This photo shows the flower unit made of 1/4" hexies covering up the basic repair.

Ah, the things we do for a Grand-dog. 
Excellent work, Ms Shelley, excellent work. 
If Grand-dog starts to chew on this area again, I recommend the teeniest, tiniest micro touch of hot pepper sauce on the center of the blossom.

When you do a sewing job you do it well! lol I only hope next time the dog decides to eat one of the other feet and not your cute little Lexi flower! :)
