30 cms vertical is a lot...but I have mended frayed linings in situ....you will need a small step stool, your ironing board set on high for giants (lol)..a steam iron and some wonder webbing...if you cant get wonder webbing or the eqiivalent use copydex and /or a few stitches to patch. (You should be able to get curtain lining fabric of the same colour and weight for pennies at the thrift shops) Good luck!
