Einleitung

If your backpack's side pocket has started to come undone, and the elastic is separating from the fabric, this easy-to-use guide will help you put the pocket back together again.

  1. FOHOP2UA4jwieZPk

    • Trim any excess thread and frayed edges from the fabric with your scissors.

  2. DbvJYiWX55yyAfPJ

    • Stretch the elastic to match in length with the fabric.

  3. qHOcKPpuYYKakWSn

    • Tuck the fabric edge back into the elastic.

  4. egGuGXVEkkiBywvW

    • Pin the fabric and elastic together.

    • Working with needles and pins can be dangerous.

  5. iBpNpCLNAdZEwAST

    • Begin stitching the fabric and elastic together.

    • Start about one centimeter before the tear begins.

  6. Aq6yGIYD6NFZPXwy

    • Continue stitching and remove pins when you sew past the part they're holding together.

  7. M4yctorU3XBKOFkB

    • Stitch until you have passed the end of the tear by about a centimeter.

  8. rrgCXlBP2vNuMZce

    • End the stitch by tying a small knot close to where the thread passes through the fabric.

  9. yVlYRDRKgGoCyFdq

    • Cut the thread just above the knot so there is little excess.

  10. SC5QbrXelyFwSiSG

    • Clean your work space and put away the tools

    • Congratulations, you're done!

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
