sew-that saturday: quick stain fix

so your favorite shirt got stained by you do not know what (or from where and when), making it harder for you to figure out how to remove the stain? and no matter how many times you treat it, the stain just won’ go away? and you just can’t make yourself throw the shirt away or turn it into a rag? it is your favorite shirt after all. but don’t lose hope yet because here’s a quick fix for you. why not go for a cover-up instead of trying and failing for the nth time to remove the stain?

we got this shirt from our trip to singapore and the panda design is just too adorable not to love. the shirt somehow acquired a stain on the left shoulder, and after months–yes months!–we thought of sewing over the stain just tonight. kim cut out tiny hearts from felt fabric, while i (almi) did the sewing. and our impromptu diy project was done in less than 10 minutes. 20130223-192331.jpg

i was excited to finally wear it again without hiding the stain with a jacket. ain’t my shirt even cuter now?20130223-191308.jpg
