Somehow, a permanent marker (which I have banned from the house, car, trailer, my life) managed to get a hold of a new shirt and leave a blue mark. It was stubborn; it was a $3 shirt. I didn’t get mad, well maybe a little bit mad at the contraband marker sneaking its way into my house.

I salvaged the pretty little flowers from the ruined shirt by ironing some heat and bond to the back of the flowers, then cut them out. Next, I found a red dress which ALSO had permanent marker lines on the chest area. (Apparently, I need to increase my surveillance on writing utensils around here.)
I strategically ironed the flowers in place, then sewed them down so they won’t go anywhere. There were a bunch left over, so Grace pulled out a skirt that needed a little something extra and we ironed and sewed them down too.

Great save on these!!!
So true on banning the markers. I just tossed stamp pads and fun stamps. The thought of explaining to the Grandaughter's mom was too much.
Thanks for sharing.

What a great save - looks like it could be the original design!
