Got a HUGE grease stain on my uniform one evening while cooking dinner. It would not wash out, not matter what stain remover I tried. So.... I covered it with embroidery! The dragonflies and smaller butterflies were edited out of other patterns, shrunk and used to cover small spots that splatter out from the main stain.

well you did a great job here!

Beautiful better than a stain.

The design looks great. Really clever idea. I tore a brand new pair of jeans on barbed wire fencing while chasing some tame heifers. The tear was only about 1 inch, but I needed to "fix" them. I did the same thing to mine and nobody could find the hole. Maybe we're better designers then we sometimes think.

How inventive.

Very clever and new prettier top.;)

Supper idea... I'll be using it very soon.

Fabulous save! Marji

Beautiful! I love the design! Do you know where it came from?

Thanks. I fell in love with it also. Lots of stitches though. But worth it. :)

Can you reload your picture - it might have to be made smaller and then you can edit and delete the old picture and reload the new. Good luck - I am sure it is nice work and we all want to view it.

Thanks, I have been trying and it still won't load the picture. I will keep trying and playing around.... Once it is done uploading, my web browser goes blank - is that normal?

Figured it out - the file was too large. Had to compress it!

Yes, that is what I meant - the file would be too large - Hehehe!
