Review on 👕 Revive and Restore: Outuxed Patches for Fabric Clothing Repair by Pamela Bellancoutt

Ripped a pair of cargo shorts near the pocket. I expected the tailors at my local dry cleaner to charge about the same as buying a new pair. Based on many product reviews here I was expecting that a fabric adhesive would be required for use with the patch. It wasn't like that. I washed my shorts first just in case. I pinched the torn fabric as best I could with my fingers and attached the patch to the shorts with the adhesive side. I set the iron to maximum. To be on the safe side, I put a piece of aluminum foil between the shorts and the ironing board cover and ironed the patch for about 2 minutes. Back and forth to make sure I covered it completely edge to edge. I left it alone until everything had completely cooled. I've worn shorts a few times since then. And I'll be washing them again soon, probably on the gentle cycle first, just to be on the safe side. I assume the patch will hold. So far I think changing shorts or paying someone else to fill the gap has been a great alternative. I would buy again and recommend.
