Mending of a DIY wardrobe parts

Completion Date: January 28, 2019

Here is a modular wardrobe diy I am assembled at home. This blue one was second-handed (makes a 2x3). I bought them for a very cheap price and 2 of the plastic pieces were broken. I mended one of them using a piece of clear plastic (leftover from my scooter storage project) with some of my leather-sewing skills.

Here are the steps:
1. Cut out the old plastic wrapping

2. Measure the new plastic wrapping

3. Copied the corner cutting to the new plastic.

4. Cut out the corners

5. Fixed the plastic sheet onto the frame with some binder clips.

6. Taped down the end to get ready for hole-punching. In here the 3M scotch tape was a bad choice because it left sticky marks, later I used masking tape and they were perfect.

7. I used a spacer (leather tools, looks like a compass) to mark a straight line on material, so to ensure my punched holes are in a straight line.

8. Here is the fork hole puncher which I used to punch with a hammer.

9. Finally I sewed all four sides with a brown thread (round type).
