bag patch-up

Post by Guest_2 »

Hey

I just stitched an awesome bag, and then my grandparents puppy got ahold of it with her razor sharp teeth and tore a hex. I can't undo the hex, because then I would have to stitch a bunch of other stuff. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

How can I patch this? Should I just restitch it all?'

I ask for 2 reaons. One-how extended the tear is, and two-it's brand new and this will screw up break in

Uhhhh,

move back a little bit from the bag, and turn on the "close-up" feature on your camera.

Part of the bag looks like a face from an alien baby. 8O

I would replace the panel that got torn through. I can't see very well off that picture though, but I think the damage is rather extensive. The smaller holes can just be patched with some 3M Steri Strips.

Fabric glue. APPLY WITH TOOTHPICK. If you put a big glob on, that part of the bag will become hard. Just use a toothpick to dab on a tiny ammount to fill the hole.

Edit: I just saw Vidicator's post after putting this up. Fabric glue would not be the best solution for this, since it is a large hole. But if you get those tiny ones, try it out.
