I had to do this to my sweatshirt.
His claws are like razors! Missy has damaged clothing too, but this is the first time for Budman. I sort of miss doing this to clothing. So quick, so easy, and Mom got so excited when she saw her "new" items. She didn't realize they were her clothes that she stained, and I covered up. I painted some but she really liked the fabric pieces with buttons. Instead of machine zig zag, I did a straight stitch a fraction in from the edge so it will (hopefully) fray a little during washings. Easily attached with the fusible web to a piece of fabric, cut out the shape, remove the paper backing, and press onto whatever you'd like.
Here's the …. copied from a photo sampler. Don't know what else to call it. I have a leather lace for hanging and will probably pin to the back since it may not hang, or it will, and I can easily remove the hanger when needed.
She and my sweet Dorothy Allen are getting along nicely. Still one of my favorites on the piece of gifted R&R 18th Century Rook. The old one, the stiff one, the brownish bronzy greenish one. Never to be found again. I have two pieces in 35 count that are nice, but not the same color or feel.
Heading out to the courthouse and feeling miserable. I don't know if I have a bladder infection or a huge piece of chocolate wedged in my abdomen, but I've been very uncomfortable for several days. Hoping now that I am not chosen and I can come home and lie down.
Have a good day!

Good luck at the courthouse! Sorry you are feeling poorly -- hope that goes away soon.
Sorry you aren't feeling up to par, Marly! I hope you are not one of the chosen at the courthouse. I like the stars on your sweatshirt. Both stitches are lovely, but Dorothy Allen is my favorite of the two.
i love the new sampler- cant believe you could copy that from a picture- great job and the colors are awesome! Hoping your abdomen pain is nothing serious....
Great save on the sweatshirt!
Hope you feel better soon...and are excused from jury duty.
Your two sampler pillows look wonderful together, Marly! It's so frustrating when we fall in love with a piece of linen only to never come across it again...
Sure hope your pain is gone by now (maybe it was just nerves about jury duty?). Warmer tomorrow--yay!
I love what you did to the shirt, great idea to cover up a problem.
I hope you do not get picked for jury duty.

HA! I may have a whole new wardrobe....I am such a Dennis-the-Menance... lThen again, I would likely just get stains on the covered up stains after one wearing. Proof is in the pudding: Our race driver sent me a special hoody with his number, logo, etc on it. I got it only today and wore it...and have dinner on my sleeve). (Please don’t tell him! He will never go to eat with me again LOL). Anywho...your “fixes” are great...but I am probably too lazy to “fix” stains anyway. As for jury duty, well, I’ve already given you a piece of my mind about that.... May the force be with you the next few days...... Our storm petered out (I think...I hope) and we only got a 3 or so (?) inches. Roads are a bit tricky...but so not looking forward to the winds and deeper cold moving in. Oh...and more substantial snow on Sunday... Guess winter has officially (belatedly) arrived in Nod... Hugs ~ Robin
Love what you did with your sweatshirt......but hate the awful claws....they really hurt...I know !
Always like to see your stitches. Can't seem to get started on any here.
Take care, stay well and will be glad when the jury duty "business" is over for you.
Hugs,
Charlotte in Va.
