...you could fix this for me??
~*~
My sister-in-law found a gorgeous poncho for her 2 year old at a consignment store. The only trouble was that once she got it home, she realized it was unraveling at the neck!! When we went to MA for Easter, she asked me if I could mend it. I have heard that jewelry peeps get asked to fix things all the time, but no one had ever asked this of me before. I said I would do my best.

Here's what I came up with! I found the origin of the unravelling, restitched what I could, and knotted off securely. It looked OK, but it didn't look great, so I decided to make and add a beaded rosette corsage. I'm pretty sure it looks better now than it ever did before (sorry Gap).
But really, what can't be fixed with a flower?
