Baby Album which has taken ages to get finished.The last delay was my fault because I couldn't find the screws that belong to the albums posts ,so I ended up taking them out of another album.
I did 2 try outs using different fonts to see what looked best on the album cover,showed the 2 tests to his grandmother & aunt .Only later in conversation that I realized there is a mistake which no one picked up on.The date of birth should be the 28th not the 8th so I need suggestions to fix the error.I can only think of taking the 2 from 2010 embroider it on some organza & water soluble vilene ,wash it ,trim back the organza & glue it in front of the 8.Everything is glued down.

15141Hi 'Killiecrankie' - I would try doing hand stitching through the fabric. As it is only the number 2 to be done I am sure you could hand draw the number on the fabric with a water soluble pen in the outline and then I would do a back-stitch. I've done this before and I think the one shown below in the link would work well. Of course you will have to use the thread that you sewed the rest of the design in. I would make sure the stitches were small so that if you decided to do the 'threaded back-stitch' it would look really neat and tidy. Love Chris

Thank you for the idea.I have plenty of thread & will have a few goes at this ,to see if I can get it to look right before I do it on the book . My idea with the organza probably will not work because the stitches at the beginning & end are just double or triple straight stitches ,so trimming the organza back so it couldn't be seen would mean that the 2 could unravel.

12680I think your idea will work just fine. This is gorgeous and shows both how hard you worked on it and the craftsman it took to do it.
169064It is so nicely done and you must be shattered about the date. I would try to take it apart (but you might have glued it already to a backing) and rehoop it and stitch on the missing "2". The good thing is you do have space to put in a two. We have some really creative cuties so someone might have an amazing fix for you.
