    Need Help With Velcro…..

    Shirts / Blouses. How to attach at the front without
    the stupid buttons. Have all the buttonhooks in the world
    but that is not the answer. You know that ends up too
    much of a bind.

    Being trying various adhesive Velcro pads, adhesive Velro
    roll. They just seem to drop off after a couple of washes.

    Is there a super glue that survives washing ? Is there
    another option than Velcro. another way of attaching
    velcro as a loop?

    Please advise.

    The only thing that comes to mind is to get them sewn on either by hand or machine. Is there someone yoy could ask or and I know t means more money a dry cleaners will do alterations.

    This is what I feared just the old needle and thread.

    You can still get a skilled needlewoman to give you two
    hours work for half a crown (12.1/2p) can’t you?

    When they spend billions on sending men to the moon
    or bombing people in mud huts, they always tell us, with
    the technology advances there will be knock on effects and
    benefits for the man in the street.

    Someone has come uo with staple the Velcro strips.
