A Thread to Guide (Splitting Seams Book 2)

To help numb future pain, here is a guide of how to best fix up the used and abused sleeves that await you. Hopefully, this guide will help you think twice before walking away from a sleeve that looks beyond repair, or help you turn that very good plus in to something excellent. Click here to buy. Ok, so, this guide should help you with the key areas of sleeve repair.


  • The Best Sewing Books!
  • The Dance of Restoration: Rebuilding a Marriage after Infidelity?
  • Pursuit of The Grander.
  • Bratmobile.

There will also be a focus on the different kinds of sleeves, and the limitations that face us with the varying kinds that we encounter. Repairing sleeves is nothing less than a fine art, and like all artists, you must first practice and hone your craft. Repairing sleeves is a massive risk. Though we do these things with good intentions, there is always a risk you could actually make the sleeve worse. The more you practice, the higher chance you have of success. In time, you begin to develop a feel and a fairly accurate idea surrounding what can and cannot be repaired.

This will save you time and heartache, as well as your hard earned cash. Pop down to your local thrift store and grab as many beat up, stickered, old and smelly records as you can. Then, with the help of this guide, get your technique down. Putting the time in is worth it, as there really is no better feeling than levelling up your sleeves. Seam splits are the worst. For all its beauty, the design of the vinyl record sleeve is a flawed one.

The sharp, rounded black circle insides it make it the ultimate tool of self-destruction. Perfect sleeves that have remained undamaged through house moves and storage are becoming rarities, so we must make do with what we have whilst the hunt for perfection goes on. To fix this, is both a delicate and arduous process. However, when completed, the satisfaction is immense. A small knife with a right angled tip would also be great. You can grab these items on eBay. With the plain sleeves, try and have a variety of weights available as each record sleeve you try and repair will be weighted and shaped differently.

Firstly, you need to work out what kind of split you have, and how to best repair the kind of damage that has been done. These are seriously easy to fix. Decide what glue to use. Super glue is a one chance, one try business. If you do it right, your sleeve will be repaired for good. Run the glue along the top half of the seam split.

Run your finger along the seam and push the sleeve down as you go. The glue should leak out of the top hinges. When this glue appears, take the small knife and run it quickly along the edge of the hinge. Do this swiftly and smoothly, being careful not to catch the sleeve. This should leave the hinge of the record neat and tidy.

Immediately after this, store the sleeve between two heavy weights or flat objects. This can be books, a stack, whatever. After a short while, this should dry. Voila, one new looking sleeve. Most sleeves are compiled by different parts, placed together upon assembly, whereas others can be made of one piece. Regardless of design, splits, tears and the eventual destruction of your record sleeve is inevitable. Time related wear and a lack of love are often the culprits to be held to account for this.

Grab the spare sleeve and cut it to measure the length of the split. Measure the card and make sure it is around an inch longer than the area of sleeve that needs replacing. Then cut it to be around about 2. Take this card and fold it in half. With this card, you are effectively creating a replacement inner lining.
