EMBROIDERY Covered a stain on my niece’s hoodie.

There was a small stain on my niece’s hoodie. I was just going to do one flower but I enjoyed it so much, I kept going!

You can see the stain in the first pic: small red mark on the right. My helper wasn’t much help but I love having my 22 year old cat on my lap! I added a tiny ant too, since I’m her aunt and all. And I redid the bee because the first one looked wonky.

The back is atrocious. I’ll add some fusible interfacing this afternoon.

She better like it or else!

I really like the design. Especially on that color background!

Do you have to hand wash a hoodie now that it’s hand embroidered? Or will it go through a washing machine okay?

I wash my hand-embroidered shirt, but I let it air dry (I mean, I hang pretty much everything on drying racks anyway, but I would definitely air dry anything with embroidery, even if I used a clothes dryer).

Both my sis and I air- dry everything. So it least won’t get wrecked in the dryer!!
