I have this fabulous brocade jacked that the elbow just sort of shredded out on. I don't actually know how to fix it. I just have to put a bloody patch on it don't I?
I'd call some seamstresses and tailors and ask about "invisible mending". It often isn't completely untraceable but it can be done well.
Usually it's weaving threads back through, like darning a sock. Also the inside-patch can be applied and small stitchwork done on top.
Unless you have done much sewing I'd consult a couple of pros and get a few different opinions. (And this from a girl who is starting her own tailoring business. Mending can be very very tricky to get right)
Best of luck,
Ekatarina, who also votes to reinfornce the other elbow at the same time.
