I would have known this years ago, so I thought I would share.
I went to a free sale the other day and I was talking to one of the women there about giving things a second lease on life. I'm a pack rat and I have a tendency to lug around tons of ridiculously heavy things for no good reason. As a result I destroy tons of amazing bags. Sometimes I try to mend them only to have the seams tear again and again. The answer? Dental floss.
The simplicity of this solution is brilliant. Floss is incredibly strong, resists fraying, I have some on hand, and I can sharpie it to whatever color it needs to be.

Another thing that is pretty good at fixing things is fishing lines. Even thin ones are way stronger then any thread you could find. The only thing about it is that when you are trying to make a knot it's not that simple and requires you to melt it in the end to make sure it stays put.
