Frugal coat fix

So my neighbor came to me with her daughters favorite coat. She had caught the toggle button on something and ripped it horribly down the front.

(of course this would be where the before photo would go) no such luck here…

Since the mornings have been a bit chilly lately I decided I needed to tackle this conundrum. frugal coat fix |Halle'sHobbiesI went with my original thought of creating some vines or stems to cover the ripped fabric.frugal coat fix |Halle'sHobbies frugal coat fix |Halle'sHobbies

Mini-me delivered it to her just a bit ago and she said “Thank your Mom 1000x”. I think it was a success.

  1. Well, aren’t YOU the clever one. Great fix, and a proud Mini-me was able to deliver it to her friend. Great job. And who among us hasn’t forgotten to take “before” photos? But, the after one is great!!

  2. Very clever indeed. I have a grey sweater that needs some creative patching done on it. Wonder what I’ll do? Thanks for the idea.

  3. Not only will the little girl still get to wear her favorite coat, but she will do it with real style! Watch out Halle, they will be lining up outside your door with their coats for you to decorate!
