Introduction

This method comes in handy when your favorite backpack tears when you need it most. A ripped backpack can cause you to lose important items, and a rip left unfixed can grow to be a bigger problem. For this technique, it might help to practice sewing a bit to get the hang of it, and then you’re ready to fix your problem.

    • First use scissors to cut off the destroyed nylon material inside of the backpack.

  2. YJotNhvhIkKVmREs
    • Using a ruler, cut out the appropriate length of nylon material to cover the tear inside of the backpack.

    • The nylon material needed for the tear size will be different for each backpack. Measure out how much material you need to cover the tear.

    • Use push-pins to pin down each corner of the nylon material.

  4. yE6XPTirNDKThEa4
    • Put thread through the needle. Double knot the thread to secure it on the needle. Then cut the end of the thread and the double knot as well.

  5. JXxFlLRFItJFrMgR
    • A basic stitch will suffice. To do a basic stitch, just poke the needle through the nylon material until it is on the other side. Bring all of the thread through. Then push the needle back near the thread that was pulled through.

    • Be careful not to poke yourself with the needle.

  6. aXVjRIsUN2XwRPGd
    • Repeat until the nylon material is secure. This picture is an example of what a basic stitch should look like after repeating the stitch.

  7. sR16khpvoNZPcihZ
    • Once finished cut the remaining thread and double knot the thread. Trim off any excess nylon material that is not sewn down. If the nylon is secure, you have fully fixed the tear!

    It would be great to have at least one photo of the other side of the tear or before and after photos.
