Stain Cover up

Almost two, curious, with the climbing skills of a mountain goat...she found my pen drawer the other day, and this is what I found:

(sharpie on her pants)
I tried and tried to get it out. For days. Rubbing alcohol, hairspray, sanitizer...it got lighter,but never went away. So I gave up. And decided to cover up.
I think it turned out cute. And it didn't slow her down a bit!

Stain cover up ((by me))

I LOVE buying white shirts for my girls. They go with anything, but kids will be kids and their shirts never stay white. I loved the lines on this shirt, but my daughter got a lot of little stains on it. I had a lot of ideas to cover them up. Each one getting more elaborate and involved. But for the most pary, I like the look of simplicity. So this is what I did.

I used heat and bond and applied it to the back of my fabric. Then I drew four hearts in different sizes and shapes. I cut them out, applied and covered up those stains.
To add a little more subtle interest, I sewed along the edges. And of course that helps it stay on better. It's nice not to throw out a shirt just because it's stained. And now it feels like she has a new outfit.
