Do you have an active kid? I do... VERY active. I sew a lot for Bug, not only new outfits or updating old ones, but I also often have to mend, patch. Bug loves it pink and girly so what to do when a pair of plain old jeans gets a nice tear? Flower power !
First mended the hole in with a zigzag
Then I used a fun quilt block cast off from a friend's project
Iron on with some Wonder Under
And a zigzag stitch with silver thread
The finishing touch, some pink flower lace at the cuffs
Flower power works pretty well for Bug
Yep that's Bug, in Bug mode :)
Can you say active kid ??
Love the lace - very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe lace is a great finishing touch!
ReplyDeletePerfect solution and looks like you bought them at a trendy kids boutique.
