Was about to get rid of this sweater I've had for the last decade because I didn't want this embroidery, but then decided I like the sweater too much to get rid of it! Time to get rid of this embroidery instead! 😏

Used my seam ripper, x-acto knife, and tweezers. Now to wash it to get rid of all the fuzz.

I finally got a chance to remove some embroidery! I found this pair of 100% cotton jeans in just my size, and in the dark denim color and flared legs that I like. But, they had vibrant embroidery on the butt pockets, and that's just not my style. I looked inside the pockets, though, and the embroidery looked easy to remove, so I bought them!
