saving the perfect sweater

I bought this pale pink cotton boyfriend sweater a couple of years ago at j. crew. I love it for it's versatility, it can be paired with a pretty dress (like today) or with my favorites jeans and tank. Not to mention it's a great transitional piece for fall to winter and winter to spring. I was so horrified when I pulled it from the wash a while back and found two small holes on the lower left hand front side. I shoved it in the closet with a giant sigh and didn't think about it for a while. Until Monday when inspiration struck and I decided it was worth mending. I cut out a simple flower shape using card stock and traced around it on some fabric remnants. I then strategically sewed on my pattern over the holes. I'm so glad to have my old friend back in rotation.
