My husband pulled the drawstring out of his pajama bottoms accidentally and was busy apologizing for ruining his pajamas. Little did he know, I can repair that problem. Once I fixed it, he immediately said I should list it in my blog.

I take a safety pin and hook it to the end of the string and push it through the opening on one side. Be careful to push at the bottom of the pin, not on the side. If you push on the side, you take the chance of making the pin open up while in the tract which presents a bigger problem.

Be sure and push it an inch or so and then pull the material back. You will see what I mean when you start doing it. The material is gathered so you are stretching the material while holding on to the pin. It is best not to let go of the pin.

Then once you get all the way through, pull the drawstring out and remove the pin. Then I tie a knot on each end of the drawstring so it is too fat to be pulled through again.
