Perhaps, this does not fall under a mending job. More like fixing my sewing blooper. Remember this project?
I made it back in December and I was pretty happy with the way it turned out until it was brought to my attention that I sewed the buttons and buttonholes in the wrong spot.
Today was about mending my ways. I stitched the old buttonholes closed, sewed on new buttons and sewed new buttonholes on the opposite side. The buttons were changed as requested. I thought the other buttons looked nice but this is not something I made for myself so it really doesn't matter what I think about the buttons. It's what the person who will be wearing it thinks that is important. Thankfully, they're happy with the new changes.
Stay Safe and Keep Sewing!
I hope you did this as a request and not out of guilt. I never would have noticed the difference on your beautiful garment.
ReplyDeleteI changed the buttons and buttonholes on this one as requested. I sewed another robe (different fabric) back in February out of guilt. Thankfully, I didn't goof on that replacement version with the button placement.
DeleteYou have a sweet soul.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you didn't change it due to a random comment pointing it out, especially if it were rudely done. Since it was done at the request of the person who will be wearing it - totally cool, you done good, etc. IMHO you get to claim mending was done with this.
