I have been having a really bad day today. I think the icing on the cake was this and I wonder if anyone can help me work out how to repair it.
On Wednesday I treated myself to a couple of new things from per una at M & S. DH was not too impressed at me spending so I dutifully put them back in the bag to return. I planned to return them today so I chucked them in the bottom of the pram and ran down the road with DS1 and 2 to the playgroup (running late so I didn't pay too much attention). When I arrived at the playgroup I noticed that the bag had slipped off the parcel tray and was now caught on the wheel of the pram. When I took the items out of the bag one of the tops (only £15 thankfully, but still too much to waste) has torn or become worn away on the upper part of the arm. The tear/worn bit is about 1 inch long and 1cm wide although there are strings of fabric across the 1cm wide bit, if that makes any sense.
I wondered if anyone would have any ideas as to how to repair this as obviously I cannot take it back to M & S now but would like to get some use out of it. I wondered if you could get anything that you could iron on and repair that way, the top is black, t-shirt type material and I thought if something could be ironed on the back of the hole/worn bit it might not look so bad.
If anyone knows of anything I would love to know or if anyone has any other suggestions.
The worst bit is DH came home at lunch time and I told him my tale (expecting him to be really annoyed) and he said that he hadn't said I had to return them he just hadn't been too impressed that I had bought them the other day!!! Grrrr!
