Solid colour clothing seems to attract stains (and I'm clearly very messy). Rather than throw out yet another thing, I decided to distract from current and future stains with a painted pattern.
As the dress was already sewn up, printing wasn't really an option for an all-over pattern, but it's a simple enough shape, just a front and a back piece, no zips or sleeves. I laid sheets of newspaper inside it, and stretched it over an ironing board for the fiddly shoulder bits.
it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The stars must be aligned for this sort of thing; I just had this blog post in my feed this morning about embroidering on clothing to cover up future stains: http://blog.karenbarbe.com/2015/04/an-intentioned-embroidery.html
