Trashy's Forums!

I inherited a patterned scarf with a damaged border, and I would like to repair it so I can wear it again. I would rather test carefully than unpick stitches from fragile fabric later. The center is still sound, but the original edging has faded beyond a reliable match. I found a quiet green trim and a warmer brown alternative at the fabric shop. Neither is an exact match, so the repair will inevitably introduce a new color. This led me to read about color analysis because the repaired border will sit close to my face when the scarf is tied. I can pin short samples in place before sewing anything onto the old fabric. Keeping the original feel is important, although I hope to use it regularly afterward. Which comparison would help you choose between preserving the pattern and flattering the wearer?
