ID: 178279

Description: Backpacks can get ripped from frequent use, but...

Steps:

1. Identify the defective area and assess how large the damage is.

2. Use a pair of scissors to cut the loose threads and clean the area.
3. Use a similar color fabric to create your "own patch".
4. Tip: Cut a piece of fabric that is at least 1cm bigger than the tear (from each side). Use a sewing machine to create a hem around the border of the patch.

5. Use sewing pins to pin the area and set the patch in place.
6. Start sewing follow the shape of the patch.

7. Once you have stitched the first side of the patch. Apply more sewing pins to set the patch in place and continue sewing.
8. Tip: In this example, a square patch was used to repair the tear. For aesthetic reasons, a “triangle” shape was achieved by inserting part of the patch inside the tear and folding one side inward.

9. 🛠️🏆👏 Congratulations! The repair is complete, and you're ready to go!
