If the drawstring on your sweatpants is broken or has slipped out, you don't have to spring for a new pair. This quick fix requires only moderately deft hands and a few household items.

on 12/22/2006 What do you do if one end has disappeared 3-4" in and you can't withdraw the whole string? Thanks - p

on 8/8/2006 I take a flexible wire, about half the size of a clothes hanger (2 to 3 feet long) and bend a small U on one end. Then I take the drawstring and place the tip end into the U of the wire. Then I crimp the U, so it holds the string tight. I wrap the U with an inch piece of tape, so it doesn't catch on the article of clothing. I thread the other end of the wire through the garment and pull the wire through, thus pulling the drawstring with it. It takes about 20 seconds to thread it through this way.
