I pinned this creative mending DIY from the Karen Barbe blog and I couldn’t wait to try it. Aside from absolutely loving her blog, her tutorial on how to make a creative mending patch like this one was pretty easy to follow. Yes, that’s my son’s bed, void of mattress pad, sheets and blankets. Two words: laundry day.
I used embroidery thread in Jacob’s favorite colors and then I used my fabric glue to adhere the patches where I wanted them. After the glue dried, I hand stitched around the edges a little to make sure each patch was secure enough. I love little projects like these, especially because they add just a little hint of a handmade touch to the garment.
I’ve been a day behind this week, so when I woke up and realized it was Thursday, I kind of did a little cheer. It’s always nice when you realize you’re one day closer to the weekend than you thought, right?
