This week was my first week back at work (grown-up work) after the holidays. While there's been PLENTY to do, I, myself, have not been very motivated. Those creative juices just aren't flowing (possibly why it's been so tough to start this blog)! So. I decided to give myself a little boost with a much needed solution to a hole in my favorite new cardigan.
First off, WHO gets holes near their shoulders in sweaters??? WHO!? I do.
I have no idea how this happened, but when I saw this little monster of a hole, I was quite upset. I've been trying to think of how to fix it without it looking like it's been sewn shut or patched, and a button was the only answer I could come up with. A button all the way over to the edge near the shoulder seems weird, though, RIGHT????
I started with a large grey button and then found this great little rose button that would look awesome in the middle of the grey one. So, i hollowed out the center of the grey button and sewed the rose button over the hole in the sweater through the middle of the grey one.
Then I added some smaller ones to make it look almost like a balloon floating away... or something.
So. There you have it. I now want to cover everything I own in clusters of buttons and still don't want to organize faculty files or expense reports. So it goes.
^5.
