As summer continues to sizzle outdoors, I've been holed up in my studio, transforming a stash of vintage tablecloths into aprons. As is my habit, I sew several and then take a "photo break" to capture images for my website and Etsy shop.
This is one that I was photographing yesterday:
Pretty from afar but I saw something odd. Something bad!
Dern it! I failed to notice this hole and didn't cut around it. Just as I was about to have a meltdown about a beautiful apron ruined, I remembered buying some BoNash online.
I'd heard it was a really easy way to mend holes ~ the entire process took just a couple of minutes. (They have a good YouTube video too; click here.)
Look!
It's like magic, sewing magic!
This little box just may revolutionize my apron business! No more cutting around holes and wasting fabric.
Hope you have a magical day today!
**Update to your questions**
I ordered this via Amazon.com last August (not sure if it shipped from the UK or not?). It cost $18.52 with tax. TOTALLY worth it because there is a lot in the container and it only takes a pinch per small hole. Not sure exactly what the compound is, but it's powdery, like talc. On the front of the fabric where my hole once showed, it no longer does! On the back/underside, there is a small patch (it'll make more sense if you watch their video). Hope this helps!

Gorgeous apron! The repair is amazing. The fabric looks perfect now. Going to check it out.
Thanks for sharing this!
That's crazy magic! Gorgeous apron too!
Your apron is beautiful even if the hole had remained. I have never heard of this product. Thank you for sharing.
Cool! I'll have to find that stuff! Thanks for the tip! ♥
That is incredible. I saw this video and was not sure what the powder was so I moved on. I am repairing an antique quilt for someone and I was researching some techniques on what to do. Going on line to try and find some of this stuff. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your apron turned out great. I was with my aunt yesterday and she gave me some of my grandmother's. I need to clean the up and I will blog about them.
Hope you are having a great week.

Oh my! It's miraculous! Is the hole actually gone?

Yeah, but how much did it cost you? Can you buy it here in the States, or did you have to get it from the UK? I've been waiting for this to happen, as I tried to use some of my embossing powders to do the same thing, so it's finally here......nice.
