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.
