Have a baseball mitt or glove that you just broke in the way you like it? ...the leather is getting soft and you're finally corralling that ball at third base... But the laces break or pull out through one of the holes? Or your kid has gone through his third glove of the season.
Well, before giving up on the mitt and trading it in for a new model, try fixing it instead. For about $5, you can get a lacing needle and some rawhide lace and maybe salvage that mitt for another season or two.
Materials:
Lacing needle.
Lace. You will need this if you need to replace the lacing.

How extensive is the damage? You'll have to figure out if you need new lacing or can rethread the old lacing. How much lacing will you need?
For this particular repair, the lacing had been pulled out of all four fingers and had been retied along the top to hold the fingers together. But the lacing itself was intact so I reused the old lacing and saved the new lacing for another repair.
