Common Causes of Clothing Holes:
- Moths, rough surfaces, and wear and tear
- Belts or zippers rubbing against fabric
- Unzipped garments in the washer
- Unclasped bras or overloaded machines
- Chlorine bleach weakening fabrics
Prevention Tips:
- Zip garments before washing
- Use bra bags or fasten clasps
- Turn delicate items inside out
- Avoid bleach—try vinegar or baking soda
- Repel moths with lavender or mint
- Stay clear of abrasive surfaces
No-Sew Hole Repair Method:
You’ll need:
- Iron
- Fusible bonding web
- Wax paper
Steps:
- Turn clothing inside out and lay it flat.
- Cut a small piece of bonding web slightly larger than the hole.
- Bring the hole edges together and place the web over it.
- Cover with wax paper and iron on the “wool” setting.
- Repeat if needed.
The hole will vanish—no needle required!
