How To Fix Drawstring On Jacket

How do i put the string back into my jacket-hood?

Get a large safety pin and put it in the end of the string, then start to slowly feed it through, it takes time and patience, but it will work, then tie a knot in the end of each string so it does not happen again.

How do i fix the drawstring on my north face coat?

It depends on what fits inside the thing that holds the draw string. You could try a straightened hangar but you would need to bunch up the coat to move it through. Not sure if your coat is thin enought to do that.

How do you even out the strings on a Nike drawstring bag?

There are four string that come out and one of them is a lot longer than the rest of them and it makes it look stupid. I can't figure out how to even out the strings. Can someone help?

Repairing the drawstring in scrub pants?

Is the tunnel that the drawstring is threaded through go all the way around the pants? If it does, you have and easy repair. Find something to use for the new drawstring. Try a sewing store, they have things like that, and can tell you what to buy. .Make sure you buy one long enough to tie in a bow, tie in a knot at both ends if you wish, and around your waist, and small enough around to fit into the tunnel without folding over. My good hospital scrubs have a woven flat string.. Put a large safety pin in one end of the new cord, making sure the safety pin will fit into the tunnel, and put it far enough up the cord so it won't rip out the end of the new cord. Put the satety pin into one side of the tunnel, and work it from the outside of the pants through the tunnel, and around to the other side by gathering material, and pushing the pin a little farther each time. When you reach the far opening, continue to pull it carefully through. Remove the safety pin, and you are done.
You can do the same thing with elastic, if you do not want the tie anymore. Same rules, sturdy looking elastic, not too large for the tunnel. Thread it through the same way. When it gets all the way around, pull both ends up, pushing the material back, and pin both ends together, and to the opening in the pants, or you might lose the elastic back into the pants, and have to retrieve it. Then you need to find a sewing machine, and sew the two ends together. The elastic might show a little in the hole that once accommodated the ties, but it would not bother me, I wear my scrub top out.
If you sewed, you could make your oun scrub ties, again with the trip to the sewing store. They make cording that you sew a cover over. Just cut a very long piece of material to fit your waist plus the tie, plus a seam on each end, and a knot in each end, plus the seam on the side.You can piece the long piece together from shorter pieces. Sew the sides together with enough space to fit the cord. Cut the cord close to the end of the material, and sew up the ends. Thread it through just like above, and tie the ends in a knot, if you like.
If the tunnel does not go all the way around the pants, you have a new problem, one that might need some ripping of seams and some sewing.
Good luck, but this is easier than it sounds.

My string in my hoodie got stuck?

Just pull the whole string out. Don't waste time fishing for it.

Once you pulled it out, wrap a few coils of the string around a long straw, and push this straw through the hole where the pullstring belongs. Do this until the string could be seen on both sides.
