How to fix a drawstring

I can’t be the only person who has draw strings stealthily remove themselves from pants and hoodies, right? I think this is a fairly common issue, and I may have found a better way to fix it. I tied one end of the drawstring securely to a crochet hook, then shoved the crochet hook, back end first, all the way through the pants.

It only took a few minutes! If you aren’t the type of person that has crochet hooks laying around, 1) Why AREN’T you? Maybe you should reevaluate your life choices. 2) If this happens to you frequently enough, having a crochet hook around might not be a bad idea. They don’t cost much, and if you have a friend that crochets they might have an extra one laying around. Or you could take up crochet! It’s great! You can turn your entire checking account into yarn in the blink of an eye! But crocheting is also far less stabby than other needle arts, so keep that in mind.
