    very interesting, thanks!
    Is there any way to do it procedurally?
    Like islands with area under a certain threshold would automatically be treated the same way you showed us?

    You can if you can figure out through which edges these small islands should be sewn back. Areas alone don't give you that. Once you get the edges in a group, sewing happens by simply subtracting them from the seams group you're supplying.
