Beautiful red wine spots

Something that made me think how genius certain problems can be solved was Jenny Hart’s idea how to make a red wine spot disappear. She simply stitches a lovely flower over the stain. Isn’t that clever? You saved your garment by even making it more unique. Think of how many kid’s t-shirts or dresses you can save with this technique. Amazing! Makes you want to get dirty all over :-)

UPDATE:

My sister-in-law sent me something in reaction to this post which solves this problem as well and made me burst out laughing. Here in Germany they are called “Kotztierchen” which basically means puking animals and they’re little pins that you can put next to the stain so that it looks like… well.. you know. Haha. The expression on their face is just priceless. Another nice way to deal with a stain.

That is genious!!! Too bad the only person who drinks red wine in our house is Andrew, I am not sure he would dig a pink flower on his shirt ;)

Brillant idea!
My mum also has creative ways to fix this type of things and in particular little holes in garments: she cuts out flowers elements from lace and stitch it to the hole and voilà!
