17/02/2022 Restoration on Lilibet continues....

I've been restoring Lilibet again and as you can see from this photo she has an old repair with large white stitches on her chin area....
Lilibet is a very old bear from the 1920's and her fabric is very fragile in this area so I decided that it would be best to keep these stitches in and colour them in to match her fabric....the old stitches are very soft and with some careful tlc I have blended them in....see next photo...
