Creative Sweater Repair

 These were the holes when I started.  They were chewed by my sisters pet mice years ago and I couldn't bring myself to throw such a nice cable sweater away.


















This...

To THIS^

 I cleaned the holes up by crocheting over the frayed parts with similar colored yarn.  Then I put some crochet flowers I made out of embroidery thread in the holes, and stitched the petals into the holes.

I also fixed the seam on the cuff...just held the sides together and back-stitched it like new.

 Rose Crochet and Knit Head-wrap

The leaf and stem is knitted and the flower is crochet.  They're good as bookmarks (book thongs) too, so you can use them aside from costume purposes, all year round.

                                                          

  



Scottish Thistle Head-wrap

I love these two little pocket-friend vipers.  I made them inspired by Blake's "The Sick Rose"...but they are way to cute to be bad guys.

 This collar is sort of steam punky, but a lacy version would be more era appropriate.  The glasses...really make the difference.
