REPAIRING IS SUSTAINABLE!SAVE YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS!

A hole in your dress, a seam has come undone, a pocket has torn? We throw away and replace garments needing repair far too often.

We really love some of these garments and think of them as our favourites. They are unique, associated with memories or simply fantastically comfortable. If something happens to these favourites, if they become worn or if they are torn or damaged, it is often difficult to part with them.

But it must not come to that! Because it is much easier than you think to care for and repair our favourite things and sometimes all that is needed is a little skill with a needle.

Under the motto, Repair & Care Prym has collected together a few cunning aids (selected Prym products) and the repair instructions and tips to go with them.

In this booklet we show you how you can rescue your favourites simply and permanently without needle and thread.

On her Tweed & Greet DIY fashion and lifestyle blog blogger and needlework book author, Selmin Ermis-Krohs regularly presents exciting DIY projects with tips and ruses for sewing your own wardrobe. She is also the second person behind the recently-launched Schnittduett dressmaking pattern label. Creating favourite things from fabric is her great passion.

On the following pages she shows you how to repair minor damage to your favourites in the wardrobe without sewing.

Who does not recognise the scene? You discover an ugly hole in your favourite dress that cannot be sewed together invisibly and you cannot find any suitable iron-on patch.

The textile repair powder from Prym lets you effortlessly repair minor damage to textiles. The powder makes it extremely easy to bind fabrics together cleanly with an iron, leaving no ugly seams.

The best thing to do is to cut a piece of fabric of the right size from a part of the dress, which is not visible – from the hem of your dress, for example – and make a virtually invisible patch for yourself.

A hole in your favourite dress?No problem.

Our favourites go everywhere with us. Seams, fabric edges and buttonholes are places which experience a great deal of wear and which are often very difficult or impossible to neaten with the sewing machine.

Fray Check from Prym is perfect for sealing raw fabric edges. The colourless liquid binds and reinforces woven surfaces and stops fraying.

The practical dosing bottle with the pipette-type opening makes it easy to apply the adhesive precisely. After multiple washes the adhesive effect can subside slightly. This treatment can be repeated as often as desired.

Bring new life to your favourite things!

8 PRYM | REPAIR & CARE

Leather is well known to be a particularly robust material. However when the fastening on your favourite bag tears off, repairing it then becomes particularly challenging. You need to use an adhesive and the place where you applied the adhesive has to remain flexible and the adhesive must not penetrate the leather.

The leather adhesive from Prym is particularly suitable for sticking smooth and suede leather, but it can also be used to glue rubber, wood, paper, and metal. Basic preparation of the surfaces and the pressing force are crucial for the stability of the bonding surface when using this adhesive.

You run no risk with this leather expert!

LEATHER ADHESIVE

2

Then allow the adhesive to dry for 10 to 15 minutes. Then you need to press the surfaces together under high pressure.

4

Once you have cleaned the damaged area and pre-pared it to some extent, apply the adhesive evenly in a thin layer across the bonding surface.

3

Finished!The fastening on your bag is repaired and the bonding surface cannot be seen.

5

The fastening on your leather bag has torn off.

Soles of shoes and leather sofa

Even the soles of shoes can be firmly connected

You are in the office about to attend an important meeting. Just then you discover that the hem of your leather skirt has come undone. Luckily you always keep Prym adhesive tape for leather in the desk drawer for such emergencies. With the extra-strong special adhesive tape you can fix your hem invisibly – and it will last for ever.

This adhesive tape remains fully invisible and it can be effortlessly removed, even when subsequent changes are made. Furthermore, this stable and strongly-adhesive tape can also be used for all other handicrafts with leather and imitation leather.

SOS aid for optimum performance!

Shortening garments

When you are shortening leather clothing, such as leather

coats or trousers, the sewing machine often goes on strike

because of the extremely dense material. This is again where

the adhesive tape for leather comes in handy. It is especially

useful, where a seam would spoil the look of a garment.

TIP


Repairing zip fasteners

Repairing zip fasteners is always a challenge. Pins usually

get in the way and often end up under the machine foot.

Wonder tape can be used to fix a zip fastener much more

easily and then the zip fastener can be sewn as usual.

TIP

Everyone has experienced this misfortune. The belt loop on your favourite pair of trousers has torn off. It not very dramatic, but it does not look very attractive. And it is a real nuisance, when it happens when you are on the move.

But rescue is in sight! With Wonder tape from Prym you can very easily repair this damage temporarily, until you can sew the belt loop again at home.

The transparent double-sided adhesive tape adheres securely to every type of fabric and is therefore especially good for temporary repairs. The wonder, to which this adhesive tape owes its name, happens when it is washed. The tape dissolves without residue when washed.

Miracles do happen! SOS repairs when on the move.

Prym Fray Check – the perfect addition!

Depending on the type of fabric you use to make your own

patches, it is advisable to neaten the edges with Prym Fray

Check after you have ironed them on. In this way you will

prevent the edges of the fabric from fraying and prolong the

life of your favourite garment.

TIP

When you put on your freshly laundered favourite sweater you realise that there is a small hole in the fabric. Right where you can see it! No need to panic!

With the deco interfacing from Prym you can make an individual iron-on patch for yourself and simply patch the hole elegantly with it. The iron-on interfacing makes applying patches easier, because it has a backing paper and is ironed on in two really easy steps.

The set includes a variety of motif patterns, which are easy to trace and make child‘s play of producing creative patches.

More than a patch – a permanent bonding!

The hemming web is therefore ideal for non-sew hems on trousers, dresses, coats and much more. Once repaired, the hem can be ironed and can be washed at up to 60 degrees.
