Tag-ectomy

About 6 months ago I embarked on my most challenging renovation project to date.

I am sad to report that my efforts were in vain.  The sleeping beauty continued to sleep with taggie and taggie continued to disintegrate.



See how the row of ribbons are coming off?  The fabric is worn through.

In a moment of sheer desperation, a new procedure was invented: the tag-ectomy.  What is that?

Upon discovering more of the original froggie fabric deep inside of a storage bin, free Taggie by cutting a square of her (him? it?) out of the original, trimming the ribbons, and then using flat felled seams to attach the new fabric to the old.  In a really sneaky move, add an extra layer of froggie fabric in between the existing layers of froggie fabric to make it thicker and (hopefully) more durable.
