We own an LL Bean Jr. backpack. Here's an example: junior original bookpack
Do you see the little loop at the top for hanging it on a hook in a closet/cubby/locker/etc.? The loop on ours tore off. Now I know if I complained to LL Bean about it, they'd replace it, but that seems like such a waste. The bookbag is in beautiful shape otherwise, even though we've had it for years.
So, I can't sew at all. And I don't own a machine. So I want to bring the bag to someone in town to fix it. But we lost the original loop. Where could I find something like that? It's a strong fabric loop, but I don't even know what to call the fabric. Some sort of strong nylon or something? I imagine if someone rolled up a tube of similar fabric they could use that to make a new loop, but I don't know what to even purchase to bring to the person. Or do I just bring the bookbag and let her supply the fabric and pay her for that as well?
I know I sound like an idiot here, but I am so out of my element with all things sewing related.
Thanks in advance for helping me to sound less ridiculous when I go to the shop to try to have it repaired.
