TUTORIAL: Re-thread Drawstring on Shorts / Pants / Hoodie

This only takes 2 minutes to do!!
I know you know how frustrating it is when one end of your drawstring disappears into your clothes and you can't figure out how to get it back out. I'm here to help!
It's really simple, all you need is a safety pin. I'll show you how. ;)

I was worried because my pants were a thicker material and the drawstring is just a long flat piece of silk but it worked and my hands hurts now. I tried to watch other videos which had different methods but they did not help. Like I was stuck for a whole month on these pants and because of your video, not only did I fixed them but I also saved like $10 so thank you so much.

    You can also use the aglet (plastic tip) point the tip up with the bottom down and push, then push the tip down and push the bottom while it sticks up. Its slower and probably better if the drawstring retracts halfway in the guide loop. Couldnt find a safety pin so had to improvise. The purplish blue highlight in your video made my day by the way

    I think part of the secret here is to use a larger safety pin when pulling it through. I had to use a safety pin which was almost 2 inches long, worked like a breeze. Than tie a knot on the end of the string so it wont pull out again.
