Hole in Your Pocket? Duct Tape It!
.
Find that your valuables are disappearing from your pockets?
Darn, there's a hole in my pocket! And I don't have time to fix it 'properly!'
No worries! DUCT TAPE It!
Gather Your Materials
All you need is:
The 'offending' garment with the hole in the pocket,
Some scissors (If your not the duct tape hand-tearing kind),
and DUCT TAPE!
Locate the Hole
There's that pesky void that swallows all that I want and hold dear!
Cut Off About 2 Inches of DUCT TAPE!
Most holes can be repaired with about 2 inches of DUCT TAPE (or more if needed!).
Position the DUCT TAPE Under the Pocket
Working on a flat surface, smooth out the pocket and place the DUCT TAPE under the pocket as shown.
Make sure to leave about a 1/4 inch along the straight side of the pocket as shown so the DUCT TAPE can stick to itself.
Fold the DUCT TAPE Over
Carefully fold the DUCT TAPE over and align the edges of the DUCT TAPE.
Firmly Press the DUCT TAPE in Place
Take your time and press that DUCT TAPE in place. Really smash it down and work it into the cloth.
THAT'S IT - NO MORE HOLE!!!
