Sweater Repair and Makeover

Sweater season is here and it's time to pull all your sweaters out of storage. Unfortunately, this also means we might discover moth and stain damage on our beloved sweaters. Don't throw them away! They can often be salvaged by patching over holes and stains with Joy® Iron-on flowers. It only takes minutes and you have a beautiful, unique sweater.

You will need:

• Joy® Iron-on Embroidered Flower Appliqués
• A sweater. One that needs some repair or even a new one that just needs a little personality.
• Iron or fabric glue-check your sweater's care label to decide which to use.

Simply place the Joy® iron-on embroidered flowers over moth holes, stains, or anywhere else you want to hide on your sweater. Set your iron to the cotton setting, cover with a pressing cloth, then iron for 30 seconds. Turn the sweater inside out, and press the back of the applique for another 30 seconds. It's important to check your sweater's heat tolerance. Some fabrics can't be ironed. But that's okay! Just use fabric glue to attached your embroidered flowers. 

Joy® iron-on, embroidered letters, numbers and floral appliqués are available in a variety of sizes, colors, and fonts at your local craft stores.
