I knew what an aglet was, but today, I learned a new word: placket. Thanks, all!
(And glad to hear that the problem is solved, Beck.)
@RTFirefly a placket is a reinforced(doubled and sewn) opening (slit, collar, cuff, hem).
I was a bit fast and loose with my use/discription of the “placket” on the hoodie face opening.
Tube/tunnel didn’t sound right.
Thanks!
Yeah, usually one speaks of a “drawstring channel” for the part of the garment that the drawstring goes through.
Yeah that’s the term I needed. Drawstring channel. Yep, perfect.
I just looked it up, the actual sewing term is “casing”. D’oh!!
What you needed to pull a string through a channel is a bodkin.
> a thick, blunt needle with a large eye, used for drawing tape or cord through a hem.
Yes I have one of those doo-hickys.
Somewhere.
That’s cool. But I was half expecting it to be a TMBG song…
