Covering a stain

So a mysterious stain appeared on the front of my favorite dress! Luckily, I had some fabric left over from when I made alterations to this dress last year (it had a ruffly bit on the hem that I removed) so I figured I could cover it!

I gave up on trying to match the pattern exactly, because it quickly became apparent that would be basically impossible. So I just tried to get the patch to blend in with its surroundings as best I could. I stitched it in place with a single strand of embroidery thread, applied some fray-block to the edges just to be safe, and voila! Super unnoticeable. This is my first time doing such a big mend and I'm really happy it turned out okay!
