so, a couple of months ago...
my brother asked me to repair his track bottoms
it was a big deal to him that i'm learning to sew...haha, honestly i have no idea how to repair this one,
but i gave it a try...
it has a tear in a place very reliable to re-tear...so i thought, i needed to reinforce this fabric and stitch them up without tension..
thus, i decided to use the principles of a 'HERNIOPLASTY',
here's a quick story of 'what is hernia' and 'how surgeons repair them'...
(for final year students, this is a very important topic to know by heart in detail!)
do watch : )

basically, 'hernioplasty' has 3 steps,
1. remove the hernia sac (we don't have anything protruding through this fabric, so i advised my brother not to overstretch his track bottom)
2. repair the defect ('the tear', so i stitched it up)
3. without tension meaning, reinforce the defect with other stuffs -a mesh in case of a hernia (thus, i stitched it on another fabric i had lying around in my room)
and Walla!, it's finished :D
'fabricoplasty, lynne's method!'
(not an A+ job, it definitely needs more research to be done on! but i combined surgery n sewing.. hehe, -stitching to be exact)
so far, my brother hasn't complained anything yet except that the white fabric is sometimes visible...hehe
i should've used a same color fabric next time.
the advice of the day, SPORT IS HEALTHY GUYS! ^_^
but boys after sports is just......huhu
am speechless!
*i'd advise anyone who wanna pick 'em up from sports (especially tennis in the afternoon) to remind them to bring extra clothes and open your windows while driving!
