Rethread a loose drawstring

Whena drawstring comes out

On adult clothing, attach a closed safety pin to one cord end. Feed it into the empty channel, bunch fabric over the pin and slide fabric behind it until the pin emerges. Keep the other end outside; remove pin and knot both ends.

Start tiny

Fasten the closed pin securely to one cord end.

SafetyDo not add cords to children’s clothing. Stop at sewn barriers; do not force a pin through fabric.
