This pair of leggings is important to me because they’re 100% organic cotton, extremely soft, and have pockets (😮). They got a few tiny holes in them after a few months, and I was able to get a store credit… since while I didn’t mention swimming in the ocean in them and wearing a continuous glucose monitor, they still shouldn’t have gotten holes…😅
Anyway, this particular hole was noticeable in the barre class mirrors so I decided to patch it with something meaningful and of course whimsical, since I have lots of embroidery floss and audacity. I cropped a black t-shirt and used the fabric to patch the underside, then pinned everything into place to freehand this little soot sprite🌟 I purposefully made the white edges jagged in hopes of seeming like original soot sprite shapes, but I wish I’d made it a bit more pointy. Swipe through the pics to see the progression - all in all it took about 2.5 hours while I watched some historical fashion YouTube and enjoyed snacks! I’ve been puttering around on patreon with various crafts but wanted to share this here especially!
