Sat on a bench. Read a book. Leaned over my shoulder and saw this: a sweater with DIY sequins elbow patches. Neat, heh?!
1,2,3 How-to
1. Cut out a round-cornered rectangle that is about the size of your hands (well, if you have long fingers…).
Seam allowance = 0
2. Put your sweater on and put a pin exactly where your elbow is. Do this on both elbows.
3. Take your sweater back off and hand-sew on the elbow patches. The pins are to be the center of where your patches should be located.
So easy. Hardest part is: finding the sequins fabric.
