Awhile ago, someone gifted us a bunch of clothes, which was really awesome, since most of the items were exactly the things my daughter wanted.
There was a red pinafore-type dress in there, that would have been cute, if it didn't have a big rip right in the front.
I decided to get out the craft supplies and fix it! Felt to the rescue!
I stated by doing a Pinterest search for felt flowers and then free-handed one on a scrap of thicker paper (a good use for the million of tear-out cards that are in every magazine). I made 3 flowers in different sizes.
I was going to just plop the flower on top of the tear, when I got the genious idea to just continue the thread down to make a stem. I used the machine to make the leaves too, by adjusting the width of the zigzag as I went along. I then just sewed the flowers on and voila!
A super cute fix to an unsightly problem! I think it turned out great!
