Yep, it’s time to channel your inner DIY guru! In this guide, we’re diving into the clever world of fabric restoration, where a hot iron and a trusty bonding web can save the day. So, grab those potential-orphans of your wardrobe, because together we’re about to turn “Oh no!” into “Oh yeah!” and bring your outfits back to life—in style!
There’s nothing worse than reaching for your favorite sweater or other article of clothing only to find a hole. Don’t toss it, though. Holes can happen, and you can save your favorite items by learning about a quick option that doesn’t involve sewing.
First off, there are a few reasons why holes happen, so you should know what they are. This way, you can hopefully avoid the problems in the future:
- Belts
- Zippers
- Bra clasps
- Chlorine
- Snags on rough surfaces
- Even your washing machine
If you find a hole that measures 5mm or less, you’ll need an iron, a piece of wax paper, and a fusible bonding web. This bonding web can be found at craft stores and even Amazon.
Here are the steps to take:
- Turn the clothing inside out and place on an ironing board with the hole facing out.
- Cut a piece of the fusing web so that it is just a little bigger than the hole.
- Push the sides of the hole together so that it looks like it’s gone, then place the fusing web over it. Place the wax paper on the same spot.
- Set your iron to the “wool” setting. Place it on the wax paper. Hold it in place for about 10 seconds.
- Remove the wax paper and pick up the clothing. Turn it right-side-in and examine. You shouldn’t see the hole at all!
The more you use this method, the easier it will become.
