I bought a little hood for my nephew which was too small for him. Luckily, it fitted my niece perfectly!  It was lovely, except the daggues at the front were mismatched right in the centre! Right. In. The. Centre

What to do?

I didn't make it and didn't have offcuts... here's my fix!

Step 1. Trim the liripipe and sew it closed again.
Step 2. Trace around the design, and from the fabric offcut, cut a pattern to match the others!
Step 3. Pin and sew the new decoration in place.

It's not perfect, and I wish this wasn't right in the middle at the front, but it's acceptable. The daggues aren't especially well-shaped and after a wear or two may fray a bit by the looks of them, so when they do, I'll just trim them off altogether and add some groovy scalloped embroidery or something!
