Last year I had promised my mother an embellished sweatshirt. I bought a couple of sweatshirts but both were too big. Mom found a sweatshirt that fit her, so I appliqued leaves on it. Of the extra sweatshirts, I made a wonky Dresden design for one sweatshirt. The other was a little smaller and I wondered all year what I wanted to do with it. It seemed a shame to just get rid of it.
Well, inspiration hit - holly leaves and berries. Nothing fancy. Plus it used up some the many buttons I have. A quick little project. It fits me but is too snug if I wear a turtleneck under it. I may keep the sweatshirt or pass it along to someone who would enjoy it. Either way it was a fun finish.
That's a fun way to decorate a sweatshirt, Sally! It's too bad that it's too big for your mom because I bet she'd love it.
