A really trashed MK VII?
I received my one with the mouse hole in the flap and the inside is in such great shape I don't want to cut any of it to repair the hole.

So, if anyone has an old MK VII that they considered unrepairable,
Can you spare a 4"x4" piece of it to fix my flap?

Let me know

Do you have a fabric store in your area? If so you can go there and find some material that is the same texture and shape and have them show you the iron on patch stuff. It is super easy to use.

Thank you. I am a pro costumer and that is the way it can be done.
I would like some vintage fabric, ie: another MK VII, so the patch piece will match the existing fabric, modern, new fabric would not look completely matching
If the hole was in the back rather than in the flap it would be easier to use modern fabric.

Just thought of something.....If you don't need it, you can take some out of the inside divider if you can't get any vintage material.


Apparently I can't read If any one else wants to take their divider out to help you, that would work too. I swear, I just skim sometimes and make myself look stupid.

Did you purchase it knowing about the mouse hole? If you expected to receive a bag with no issues, then I'd look into returning or exchanging it. If you knew about the hole prior to buying it, then I'd ask for the mouse.

No, I was aware that the hole was there. My Original plan was to cut some of the inner fabric out and patch the hole.
The inside is in such good shape I am loath to damage it
If I cant get some old fabric I will just cut one of the inner walls for the patch and patch the inside with modern fabric

And I am not to happy with the seller :evil: the mouse was not included with the bag.

Could you post some pics of the bag ?

No problem

Not quite a Sankara Stone hole, but a hole none the less

I will probably end up removing a bit of the interior to make the repair and repairing the part I take out with modern fabric

haha, now THAT makes for a fun story.

Even with an old bag, I don't think you'd be able to get a good match. Honestly? I'd just buy a new one for $40...worth the money in time and effort alone.

Where can you get a new one for $40?
This one with shipping was $26 and repairable
I guess I will just use the inner wall as a patch

check the what price glory website... they have vintage bags it great shape for a tad over 40.00...

we've been down this road

You know, that bag is so randomly discolored and stained, I don't think you'd any problem matching the "finish" with hand-dyed/distressed modern fabric.

True, I was only asking here if someone had a trashed one so I could repair this one. I am not currently looking to get a replacement

But, I say "Thank You" to everyone that had advice and encouragement about this

I wasn't posting for you, but for others who might not have seen the other conversation about different places and prices

Ooops

Carry on everyone
