With three small kids it can be a challenge keeping all of their clothes looking nice and new. I am always coming up with ways to cover up stains, whether it be upcycling the look completely and turning it into something new…or something as simple as adding applique.

The easiest way I have found by far is fabric paint. This ‘magic in a bottle’ does wonders for any old clothing!!! And the best part for all of you non-sewists out there – No sewing is required to fix it!

Ever since I discovered all that fabric paint can do, I have never looked back. I always have a few bottles on hand – and we have learned to have so much fun with it! Just like the watercolor fabric we made a while back. And now I don’t worry as much when I put a plate of spaghetti in front of the kids for dinner :).

Fabric Paint…the Stain Fighter!

And just like that I have 2 brand new shirts that my kids love, that don’t need to go in the ‘play clothes’ drawer. And my husband thinks I am a genius because I am saving money…woot woot!

Be sure to hop on over to Me Sew Crazy where I have a month long New Years ReSewLution Series going on. Some of our favorite bloggers will be visiting and sharing their resolutions with us!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…

Happy Sewing!
