Repairing CD's elastics

Repairing used and old CDs was not really what i want, but seeing those CDs being put to no use after some time is not what i want to see.
So i took up the initiative to repair them, even if they were not bought under me.
Honestly, just to put up my true feelings about the process of repairing them.
Most of them got worn out on the elastic part of the leg holes.
BG was among the easiest to repair, considering the fast that the old elastic starting point or end point are easier to locate. Easier for me to snip open it and later replace with new elastic. But honestly, honestly, i dont quite believe the whole piece is truely made in the US. The elasitc quality was of same quality as those made in else where in Asia, hmmm, u know where. :)

Blueberry, was hard to mend, considering that fact that the PUL and the fleece were sewn together and that make the elastic so much difficult to locate. Told myself, make this the last time to repair this, locating the old elastic and stretching out the new elastic was not easy eh!

I was mending the mink diaper and i was thinking , "what's the point of buying this expensive piece when you can only use it for some time? and if no one to mend this loosen elastic, this luxury piece will be a waste already? so what's the point of designing this whole master piece? to make more waste of fabric again? so that there is a repeat sale?"
