Fabric glue to the rescue! Fix clothes and other fabrics and say goodbye to rips and tears.
Finding a tear in a favourite pair of jeans or much-loved shirt is a terrible feeling. Your first instinct might be to throw it away, accepting that it can never be worn again. But there is a solution: permanent fabric glue. You don’t even need any particular craft skills. It really is as simple as gluing it back together again!
Fabric glue is a liquid adhesive specially designed for fixing fabrics – think clothes, cushions, upholstery, umbrellas, curtains, and much more. Fabric glue is flexible, so it’s ideal for stretchy materials.
One of the best things about fabric glue is its versatility. Most fabric glues are multi-purpose, so you can use them to repair other materials such as wood, leather and plastic too. So, whenever you’ve got a rip, whether it’s in your clothes, a soft toy, or even camping gear, get out the fabric glue! You can make your favourite items last for years to come.
