can't you just sew the matching colours over the torn pieces to match the strips that are torn I used to patch things all the time, cut the strips a little bit wider turn a fine edge under pin them in place and machine sew around them it would be the easy way out may not look as good but if you are careful and keep your stitches very close to the edge you wouldn't notice it so much, or you could do all of the above and hand stitch it in place
