 One good way to ensure velcro fixings are more reliable is to use multiple
layers; so instead of having (in diagrams, --- = cloth, H = hook bit of
velcro, S = smooth bit of velcro, make sure you're using a monospaced font
to view them..)

 two bits of cloth:

  ---------------   and   --------------- which fix together like: 
          HHHHHHH                  SSSSSS

 ------------
       HHHHHH
       SSSSSS
       ----------------


 you have one "y-shaped" bit of cloth and one normal one:

                 /H
                /H
               /H                  SSSS
 -------------/H        ---------------
              \H                   SSSS
               \H
                \H
                 \H

 which fix together like so:

                  /-----
                 / HHHHH
                /  SSSSS
  -------------|   -------------------
                \  SSSSS
                 \ HHHHH
                  \-----
 
 This is a _lot_ stronger, and much less likely to come undone surprisingly.
