Measure and cut the new drawcord
-
If the drawcord isn't stretched out or missing any part, use the old drawcord as a reference to measure and cut the appropriate length for a new one.
-
Alternatively, to measure and cut a new drawcord without the old one:
-
Measure the length of the hem.
-
Add the distance the cord travels to and from any cord locks.
-
Add 2 inches (~51 mm) to account for a 1 inch (~25 mm) seam allowance on each end.
-
Add an additional 1 inch (~25 mm) if the drawcord end knots were cut in Step 2.
-
Use a lighter to singe the cut ends of the drawcord.
-
Discard broken pieces responsibly.
