My hubby is retired but works part time at Home Depot a couple of days a week. They gave him a sweatshirt with a Home Depot logo on it and he said "I would never wear this." He hates pull over the head sweatshirts. So he tossed it at me and said, here you can have this. So I said ok, but I am not going to wear it with a Home Depot logo on it. Hope I am not offending anyone here. Nothing wrong with Home Depot, just something I would not wear. Actually, Home Depot is very good to my husband!! So anyway, I thought maybe I could pick out the stitches of the logo, but they were very dense, so that would not work. The design is not very big about a 1 inch square!
So I cut it carefully
out of the front of the sweatshirt.
Now, the front of
the sweatshirt has a double pocket that you can put your hands in from both sides
like most heavy sweatshirts. I cut the
exact square out of the inside of this sweatshirt pocket. Then I took this
little square of sweatshirt material and sewed it by hand into the hole that
was left on the sweatshirt. On the back of that hole I ironed some iron on stabilizer.
I then went to my scrap of fabrics and found a piece of gray fleece to closely match
and cut out another square of the fleece and hand sewed that back into the
inside pocket to close up the hole that I cut out of the pocket.
Does this make
sense? It's like robbing Peter to pay Paul!
Picture of the inside of the pocket!
Now I have my holes filled and I need to try and find a design to cover up as much of the square as possible with a cute design where the original logo was and this I did!
