So, I have this sweater.
A great cardigan but it's seen better days and now has a good size hole at one of the elbows.
What was I to do?
Make elbow patches of course! And not just any patches, black suede heart patches.
I just picked up a small piece of suede from the craft store and cut it into two hearts.
After deciding where to place them (so they were proper elbow patches and covered the hole) I realized I was going to have some trouble sewing the hearts on.
I needed to use the machine since the suede is so thick, but i couldn't get the sleeve onto the machine with enough mobility.
So I cut a slit in the arm sleeve and sewed the hearts right on and then the seam back up.
Ta-da!
Hole sweater is an elbow patch sweater now. check plus.
xoxo
