There is something you need to know about Great Grandpa H.
He loved to shop at Goodwill or better yet, at garage sales.
This picture shows his signature "fix"
for anything that had a logo, name or monogram on it.
This one is an iron-on patch meant for little kids' pants with ripped knees,
but he would also use some kind of plastic-y paint to cover the offending words.
And he did not limit himself to sweatshirts.
He also "fixed" t-shirts, tote bags and containers - really anything.
I kept these two sweatshirts to make a muslin of a new pattern
to check the fit I have before I cut into my fancy fabric.
When I pulled them out of a box yesterday, I had to smile.
