Abstract: An improved process for mending clothes with a unique means for applying a thermoplastic synthetic resin to form a strong border between a basic cloth and a mending cloth. The resin is applied to both the mending cloth and the basic cloth before fastening them together. The cloths are then temporarily fastened together. The mending cloth is placed over the torn portion of the basic cloth and a hole is stamped through the two cloths. Additional resin is applied to the circumference of the hole and the piece of mending cloth which has just been cut out is manually pressed into the hole. A reinforcing cloth is placed on the back of the mended area and an iron is used to heat the resin and cause the various pieces of cloth to adhere. The mended area is difficult to distinguish and resists tearing or fraying.
