I used a thin tea towel, used the iron on steam setting.

Nice job... Did you use brown paper between iron and bivvy?

easy enough to do yourself. Buy the 3 ply hot melt tape from ebay or amazon.
I have repaired bivvies, brollies, old army issue goretex clothing, etc with it.

Only need the seam tapping, he was my first thought. Shame as he would have done an excellent job.
