A lady arrived at Crafternoon with a blouse that had a tiny hole in it and some marks. She'd been recommended by a lovely 91 year old friend who'd had a hole in a garment which I covered up with a tatted butterfly a month or two ago.
The blouse is a beautiful silk one and so I first had to find some thread to work some 'magic' with. I found some silk sewing thread that I've had for years and years. Deciding what to tat was also hard but in the end I did a tiny flower like motif and a couple of butterflies. The pictures are below.
After I'd finished the project I decided to look up the designer's name on the label. I nearly fell flat on my face when I found out that it's a VERY expensive range of clothes. Glad I didn't know before I started or I'd have been even more nervous. Just hope the lady likes it but if she doesn't I can easily snip it off.
That's my favourite little butterfly pattern! The repairs look very stylish ,couture for the designer label.
ReplyDeleteI just hope she likes it! Thanks for saying their stylish. Always great to find you in my inbox as I know you're on your iPad!!!
DeleteI'd have been thrown off by the silk alone, but designer clothes? Yikes! You did a wonderful job. I hope she likes it!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to save an expensive item. I'm sure she'll love it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great too! Tatting has sooo many uses!! Thing is.... who is the designer? You gotta tell us otherwise we'll be feeling lost and disorientated and grumpy or summat like that!! VBG Or is it just the presence of 'british summer liquid sunshine' that's making me feel that way out??
ReplyDeleteI think the lady should be very pleased. Good work.
ReplyDeleteahh how tatting saves the day :)

It's those touches, like handmade lace, that denote haut coutoure.
