In mijn vorige post besprak ik al 5 manieren om rechtstreeks op je stof te tekenen wanneer je aan het borduren gaat. Maar wat als
These trousers once started their career as a long pair, and since then, they have jumped through quite some hoops. Literally, even.
In the midst of the very busy print on this shirt, a tiny hole was trying to hide itself. Got caught somewhere, I suppose. The busy design proved useful as inspiration to repair this hole - I just embroidered something on that was already there. In this case: a white lightning arrow. Read on to find out how to repair a hole in your t-shirt.
This vintage seventies blouse had a big tear on its back, and could no longer be worn. Some fusible woven stay tape and embroidery floss saved the day in the end. But how exactly do you use those to repair such a tear in your blouse?
This cheerful sweater's sleeve got cought on something, resulting in a tiny hole in its fabric. But no worries, with a bit of black embroidery floss this hole was repaired in no time, completely in the original print's style.
No idea how they got there, but that they were actually there, was very obvious: holes on the shoulder of this circus shirt. Something needed to be done.
While climbing trees someone's t-shirt got caught by a branch. Result: a tear in the back of this t-shirt. But you can easily repair a tear like this, it doesn't have to mean the end of your shirt. In this case, a very smiley dinosaur and a couple of embroidery stitches saved the day.

In a previous post I already explained how you can camouflage bleach stains by covering them with a rice stitch design. But what if you have a really big stain? In that case, you can opt to embroider a design over it.
This black dress became a victim of overenthousiastic cleaning and ended up sporting some bleach stains. But that didn't mean this dress was now ready for the landfill. On the contrary! Time to camouflage!
My youngest son is a real outside kid whose favourite hobby is to dig up worms. It goes without saying that a warm, waterproof coat is an absolute must during the cold winter months. His current coat is the same one as the one from last year, and has seen quite a few adventures. Time for an upgrade!
My oldest son has a bright red shirt with a small print of a black fire truck. Or, to be more correct, he used to have such a shirt, because the other day he came home from school carrying a big black ink stain right in the middle of said shirt. Sharpie stain. Impossible to remove. Shirt ruined. Or was it?
