So when I took out my tank top, I noticed that one of the straps ripped of, then I saw that at the send of the top ripped strap, about an inch of the strap at the bottom was almost completely ripped of too. It kin of looks like this if I described it, tank first, little nub with hook that attaches to tank, ripped, small piece of strap barely holding on to rest of strap, almost ripped, rest of strap that holds onto front of tank. It's not like the thread unraveled, but the actual clothe ripped. I can't buy a new one, and I can't sew. Please help!

If you don't even know somebody that can sew then take it to the dry cleaners or a tailor.

Take your top to your local fabric store, such as JoAnn's or Hancock Fabric, and ask one of the clerks how best to repair it. Buy a small set of hand sewing needles and a spool of matching thread, and you may be able to get them to show you what to do. Also, ask for a book or pamphlet that shows you basic hand sewing techniques, so the next time you can say, "I know how to fix this!" All of this will cost you less than a new tank top.

I would staple it together. It doesn't' require any sewing. It's more secure than a safety pin. It can be hidden easily. It works for me.

If you can't sew, and you can't get a new one, safety pin it is really all I can think of.
