Thanks, Sarah, for suggesting grosgrain ribbon. My sweater no longer falls off of my shoulders, and I was even able to move the button closer to the button band, where it belonged.
I machine-sewed the ribbon on. Maybe not the best idea? It doesn’t sit quite right. Still, it’s way better than it was. While this may never be my go-to sweater, at least it’s no longer my run-from sweater!
The boys and I (and our filthy bathroom mirror) wish you a goofy, fun-filled weekend ahead!
Yay!! Plus it looks cute in there. I think machine sewing was the way to go – it’s just kind of fiddly. Pin, pin pin and use a walking foot if you have one.
Ah, maybe it would have gone better with a walking foot. I have one, but never have figured out how to put it on my machine 😉
