This post has nothing to do with cleaning, let me tell you. It has to do with having/finding a piece of clothing that is only one small stain (or ugly design) away from usability. This will open your eyes to keeping those cherished onesies, shirts, and pants that fell prey to spills. Or, in my case, taking advantage of a super-affordable item that has a less-than-ideal picture on it.
Figure out what design or picture you want on your item. Caspian chose Plex, and fortunately settled for just his head. He needed some light outerwear that fit, and I found a great hoodie at our Habitat for Humanity ReStore for 50¢. Well, it was great, except for the yucky football screenprint on the chest.
Take some felt and some embroidery thread (which you probably already have) and, in my case, a button from my grandmother-in-law's sewing stash.
Then make-over your hoodie! Granted, I wouldn't have chosen a grey design for a grey hoodie, but I didn't have silver felt and Caspian wanted Plex, end of story. :)
Got plenty more in-progress pics to come!

This is such a clever idea!
How does the felt hold up to washings?
