i had this cute grey hoodie that i'd found at the op shop for mae awhile ago and she'd worn it a few times. but then i noticed that the seam in the hood had pulled apart a bit and that, combined with the pilly satin ribbon on the inside of the hood and the pink flower + brand name applique on the front, sealed it's fate as heading back to the op shop. it sat in the pile to go for a couple of weeks and then, in looking for ways to avoid oobee sewing, i decided to fix the hood. and then, i decided that pilly ribbon had to go so i covered it up with some cute red and white striped grosgrain. and then, the red ribbon clashed with the original pink applique so i covered it up with my own little applique circles and voila! a cute hoodie i am more than happy for miss mae to wear. yay!
That is the sweetest applique, I love it's make-over.
