Mend Holes in Your T-Shirt with Angela Brown’s Effortless Trick (Page 2 ) | December 23, 2023
Annonce:
1. Lay a piece of parchment paper on your ironing board and lay your damaged shirt (inside out) on top of the paper.
2. Using your fingers, squeeze the hole so that’s it’s as small as possible (squishing the fabric together gently).
3. Cut a small square of fusible bonding web (ultralight weight) a little larger than the damaged area, and lay it on top of the hole. Add a slightly larger piece of lightweight stabilizer on top.
4. Being careful not to move anything, cover the area with a light cloth (this will protect the shirt from the heat of the iron.)
5. With your iron set to “wool,” spritz the cloth to dampen the area over the damaged area. Place your iron on top of the cloth over the damaged area and hold for 10 seconds. Do not move the iron on the cloth.
6. Set the iron and cloth aside and flip your sweater right side out. Use your fingers to push the hole even closer together on the outside. Place your iron directly on the sweater and hold for a few seconds.
The hole will now be practically invisible (except on the inside).
Professor Pincushion details another option in the video below. The second option works well if you want a more invisible repair and you don’t mind trying your hand at sewing.
