I had a mishap when I was Ironing this lovely peach satin slip – the iron was too hot and I burnt a hole in it. I thought of a way to repair it -this is what I did.
I trimmed the melted edge of the hole off so the fabric wasn’t puckered.
I cut out a piece of lace a little larger than the hole, cutting around some of the flowers in the design.
I put the damaged part of the slip in an embroidery hoop….
…then pinned the lace motif in place and, using tiny stitches I sewed the lace into place, both round the hole and the edge of the lace. This is what it looks like on the wrong side.
…and on the right side. Job done!
