Hey guys,

Just wanted to show you guys how my Level 1 Colab sweater repair came along.

What you need:
Less than 5 Dollars

-1 Bottle of White Acrylic Paint
-1 Bottle of FolkArt Textile Medium

Add 2:1 ratio of Textile Medium to Acrylic paint and slap it over the cracks.
Let it dry, rinse, ironed. Brand new.

glue the two part of the button each other to make like a normal hoodie ? that what you try to say ?

Do you think if i go to see a sewer, he could fix that ? it's like the hole in the button is too big so the ''pin'' of the other button don't fit.

yes.
and no, i don't think a seamstress could fix it. the buttons jiberish used are just kinda shitty for the heavier hoodies. (academy, gridded, ect.)

oh ok, do you think i could or a seamstress could remove the part of the button in wich you insert the other.. the ''button with the hole'' and put a tighter button so it will fit. ?
