We sewists are resourceful if nothing else - DH's lawn sweeper got invaded by mice over the winter and they chewed a hole in the mesh part of the bag.
Dental floss for thread, darning needle, and mesh for making beach bags for a patch! Back in service quickly, and a happy hubby. (Happy wife too as we didn't have to buy a new one).
He had already tried duck tape, but the patch wouldn't stick....
