The Mindful Monday Mending Club Episode 2: Covering holes with appliqué

Tears, moth holes or just for decoration, I absolutely LOVE appliqué. It’s super therapeutic to do and can update your previously plain item with a new aesthetic depending on what you choose to cover the hole with. I love it for home textiles where I can use my floral Liberty swatches. All you’ll need is a needle (the size of this should be proportionate to the fabric you’re dealing with, so if the cut out is thin like the one I’m using here, you want to go for a thinner sewing needle instead of an embroidery one, for example), thread, scissors and some scrap fabric. It can take a while to get the hang of it and depending on how large and detailed your shape is, you can expect it to take up to 20 minutes per hole but the result is so cute and so worth it!
