Has anyone ever replace the hook on a bra?

I just did this. I put the hook in the place it needed to be & then, I used my sewing machine, I manually set the needle down in one of the loops on the hook. Then I manually moved the needle to the outside of the loop. Back & forth & then I did the other loop. You could do it by hand, but it wouldn't be as strong.

Sounds so easy. Thanks for telling me how you did this. I think I'll give it a try.

The idea of tossing out a 50.00 bra because of a hook just kills me!

Genius!

Was just going to suggest that! Very easy.

Me too, Joann's Fabrics would carry them.

I didn't think it was possible; they look like they are welded in by Nasa.

My thought too, I use these often, my cup and band size to not coordinate, meaning I am a B in a 38 but the band needs to be 40
