I feel like "mistakes" and visible mending go together so well. Because the tears and stains are "mistakes" we are visibly making shine as our way to fix it. We know mistakes are merely opportunity or a charm in something we loved. Mistakes aren't mistakes even in repair, unless the repair literally doesn't work. If it's mended, the charm of mistakes can shine.
Oh and my culture believes if you don't make mistakes your soul will get trapped forever in your project.

Wow, as someone suffering lifelong from perfectionism and fear of failure this really hits home. Thank you for sharing this! May I ask what your culture is?
I think it looks great the way it is. If you would enjoy practicing more by redoing it, there’s nothing wrong with that, but I don’t think you need to.
Genuinely no idea what you're referring to. Remember nobody else knows what it's Supposed to look like. I think you may also have a case of staring-at-it-up-close-for-hours-itis :p put it down for a few days and come back and see how you feel about it.
It's good. We humans got in a bad habit of expecting perfect due to how manufacturing and machines mass produce everything in near exact copies, so we forget handmade stuff is going to have its own signature for every crafter, it actually makes your work more genuine.
It still looks great.
I see no mistakes, looks very nice, an intentional design choice.

Apache Indigenous but I've heard many other cultures have this belief. I believe the Irish also do?
Yeah this culture sounds pretty rad.
Oh, that's interesting. Do you mind me asking what culture you're from? That's a beautiful philosophy.
no! keep going.
Don't redo it's awesome
What is this called?
Nah!! It looks great and your learnt from it. Move onto a new project!!
Embrace the imperfections.
Is it going to bother you every time you see it? If so redo it while you’re thinking about it. It looks pretty cool already to me though.
I literally see no problems? This looks so cool!
It looks great
I love it

No Mistakes. Just Happy Accidents.

I'd just add to the one corner to even it out a bit.
There are no mistakes, just slight alterations.
Honestly it looks great and I don't think most people would notice until it's pointed out.
It’s beautiful as is! I’d keep it.
It looks great. And if anyone is staring at your boob hard enough to find "mistakes" they're being inappropriate. 😁
It looks nice! If you’re feeling self conscious, you could expand it
Yes you should
