mending a hole

 

There was a hole in a brand new trouser

of little grandson

(someone probably snipped off a thread

and snipped into the fabric as well)

 

Although daughter is a good seamstress herself ...

these kind of things always end up on my plate

 

Then

I had an idea !

The little one likes books,

now he knows there is always someone who will read aloud, and

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

is his favorite of late :

he loves to poke his tiny fingers through all the holes

 

First some interface on the inside

 

my green embroidery floss and a cup of tea

and a sharp needle

.....

 

and this is what I ended up with !

 

(so sorry the little one can't see the caterpillar on his bum ...

or ... I might make the butterfly,

if he gets a hole on his knee)
