In this book, you'll find practical ideas and advice on clothes-savers like:
- Using added bands of fabric to cover, patch and lengthen jeans and trousers (kids outgrow them so fast!)
- Combining patching with embroidery to make a repair into a design element
- Embroidering around holes to make them look like part of the original design (make a worm hole in an embroidered apple, for instance!)
- Turning an iron-on patch into a canvas for your kid's artistry—just grab some permanent markers and have fun
- Covering stains with a creative use of paint (use the stencil patterns in this book, or use ready-made stencils to add favorite animals, cars, flowers and more)
- And many other ideas that turn clothing repair into a shared adventure!
It's a win-win-win collaboration—you, your kids, and this book!
