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...
