The elbow of Mike's shirt tore recently and when it's one of your favorite shirts and someone tells you they can try to fix it, but it won't look the same...maybe not even good. You say, "try please."
So try I did.
Luckily, I read a bit online before just going at it with a zig zag stitch. I came across the idea to use fusible interfacing, first, which is a lovely idea and makes complete sense! I have lots of scraps lying around so I went at fusing the shirt.
Note: I often forget which side is fusible. I don't want to fuse to the iron. The rough side goes down on the fabric.
Then do the zigzag stitch.
Yes, you can see it and it's not perfect and I told Mike he can only wear it with a jacket. He, however, was pretty excited and I bet he'll wear it without a jacket.
Just saying. Don't lose home :)
