Kite repair

[Windward]

Hello everyone I have an old George Petters square flyer 

The Prairie, in need of a little repair. The pocket the frame spar goes into has come apart a little bit right on the stitching was looking for the best way to repair it. 
strong glue, or other options to fix it up nicely .
 Any help would be appreciated

Does it actually impact the kite, or is this purely cosmetic?

From the picture it looks like the pocket is still fully intact, and the most important sides that will be taking the pressure look like they're still going to work.

It looks like it is just a stitch over the folded webbing and not a hole in the webbing or multiple stitches. For me, I'd say if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Matching red polyester thread is easy to find at any fabric store. If the pocket still works you could simply run a threaded needle through the same holes to cover up that broken stitch. If multiple stitches have broken it looks like 12 or so total stitches, easy peasy, although maybe intimidating if you don't sew. In that case find a friend who sews and they probably have a matching red polyester thread and can put those stitches in within a minute or two.

• Hi Frob Thanks for responding to my post appreciated. Appears as though the red stitching on the side of the pocket is coming a part a bit and the material the pocket is made of is a little bit as well where it was origanlly stitched down . Question do you know if I could use something like Aqua seal FD to glue the pocket down where it has come apart, instead of trying to re stitch the area glue and weigh it down. Would a thin amount of glue applied with a toothpick do to hold it all back together and stop the stitching from continuing to come apart like new . Or could a small amount of glue disrupt the balance of the kite ? Old ITW kite perhapes the material they used for the pocket could have been better! but I like the kite and it was flying really nicely, hate to see it fall apart any additional input would be appreciated
