Elastic Drawcord
Title
Elastic Drawcord Replacement
Introduction
A drawcord is a length of cording, often elastic, that runs through hems, waistbands, hoods, and other areas where adjustable tightness is beneficial. Over time, a drawcord can stretch out and lose its elasticity, or it may break or snap during use. In these situations, replacing the entire drawcord is necessary.
This guide will demonstrate how to replace a drawcord without the need for sewing. To ensure this solution is applicable, confirm that the drawcord is not sewn into the item on either end.
While this tutorial focuses on a jacket hem, the same techniques can be applied to other non-sewn drawcords, such as those found in waistbands and hoods.
Read through the entire guide before starting the repair, and gather the necessary tools and materials. While Patagonia-specific materials are ideal, they are not required.
