-
Identify the defective area and assess how large the damage is.
-
-
-
Cut away the tips of the straps to create a clean surface to repair.
-
Note: In this example, we cut 2 cm away from the tip.
-
Pin the two straps together and set aside.
-
-
-
Use a "seam ripper" tool to unstitch the remaining piece of strap.
-
Note: This will leave a hole in the border of the backpack (red circle), that will be useful in the next step.
-
-
-
Insert the pinned straps inside the hole and use a safety pin to hold the pieces together.
-
-
-
-
Locate the straps that were inserted in the previous step (red circle).
-
-
-
Cut away the remaining pieces of the binding material that were present before (yellow arrows).
-
-
-
Use a straight stitch to fix the strap in the right position.
-
Tip: For tips on setting up the machine take a look at this iFixit guide.
-
-
-
Change the settings in the sewing machine and switch from a "straight" to a "zigzag" stich.
-
Sew along the same line of the previous step.
-
-
-
Locate the remaining piece of strap (red line) and cut it out.
-
-
-
Select a "binding" material, it can be a strap or any spare textile you have at home.
-
Make sure it is the same length as the area you are trying to repair (red line).
-
Fold the side of binding strap inwards (yellow arrow) and fix the position using with pins.
-
-
-
Change the settings in the sewing machine and switch back to a "straight" stich.
-
Start sewing and remove any pins in the way of the sewing route.
