Oh, I am devastated. I have been assembly-line sewing a pair of polka-dotted corduroy Playtime dresses for my girls. Today the dress for my older girl suffered a tragic serger accident. I patched it with the idea of appliqueing something over the patch. But of course, being a serger accident, the hole is very close to a seam, so it's kind of an awkward place for an applique. The patch itself is not eye-wateringly noticeable, but of course it is noticeable. Anyone have any brilliant ideas? I don't have enough fabric to make a new bodice, though I do have some more of the fabric. I was thinking maybe a bow made out of the same corduroy, but it needs to wash well with a minimum of pressing required afterwards and I am not sure how a bow would fare. This is meant to be a school dress.
