I got this tiny silk newborn sweater for twenty-five cents. It is so soft and adorable. The only problem was the little snag on the front.
I stitched the snag so it wouldn't grow. Then I covered up the scar with a button flower. I used some vintage buttons and some new ones. I like the eclectic mix of textures and colors.
I added a few other button flowers on the front and on the collar. I stitched stems and leaves using three different colored strands of thread together. The mixed threads are more interesting and homespun-looking. I am not a talented embroiderer, but my basic stitches sufficed here. I like the whimsical look.
I love the finished sweater!
Just a few more weeks until baby arrives... in style.
