I have a sweatshirt with a drip stain down the front. :( I'm still wearing + really liking this sweatshirt. I'm not ready to give up on it yet. I spotted one of these photos the other day, and it inspired me to think about the different options I have for dealing with my sweatshirt.
Paint is not only a great tool for adding patterns to fabric, it could also be used to cover a stain. The patterns above could be applied with a handmade stamp or with the freezer paper method. (Cut the inside of the shape out of the freezer paper so that the outline is left. Iron the shiny side of the paper down onto the fabric + stencil. When the paint is dry, peel the paper away.)

These images offer a little inspiration for freehand painting. I appreciate that these ideas also allow me to consider white + light fabrics with greater confidence. What an exciting evolution our clothing could go through right in our own closets rather than being considered waste prematurely...just because of a little stain. Turn that stain into an opportunity for creativity!
