You Gotta Have Faith
One of my oldest tees (a Loomstate organic cotton twisted seam number) had gone holey above the hem. So I backed the area with offcuts from another ancient tee and embroidered over it, repeating the mysterious mushroom motif using simple running stitch. I mean, why mushrooms, however magic, fashioned into a cross lead to Faith I cannot tell you. But I think they look nice stitched.
