Behold a beloved blouse with a stain that wont go off…

Cost: 0 euros
Materials: a pair of scissors needle and tread, pieces of fabric.
Time: 15 min
Level of Difficulty: Really, really Easy !

I am going to use some materials from an other blouse that I have, since forever and of course do not wear! We cut it to pieces and keep any parts we can, for future use. Here I kept the pocket (which it was the thing I wanted to begin with) the collar and the buttons which I like because they look like little pearls!

And the blouse is saved! I simply sowed the pocket on the stain by hand (or using a sewing machine if you own one).

For a more whole result we can us the line of buttons as well, after we cut it to the size we want.

Some ideas

We take the collar and we sew it in the middle with a needle and tread so it will look like a big bow. We can also use on top of it some other pieces of fabric to emboss it. Here I used two pieces of yellow organza.

For an 80s look, I also used colored leather pieces and a blue beaded piece of fabric.

(Generally it s good to have a box, in which you will keep your little treasures. Pieces of fabric and any kind of materials that you may like, buttons, cords etc. Even if you don t know what to do with them at the time, they will for sure come handy in the future!
