As some of you may know- I enjoy embellishing sweaters. It can be a fun and quick little project that has a great reward! I bought this sweater maybe last fall at Target. I added the blue fabric trim and changed the buttons to these fun floral buttons from another sweater....
unfortunately- after washing the sweater- this strange chemical smell started to appear, and after washing it again and again in the hope that the smell would go away- it is even stronger!!! Everything I have tried has not worked. Perhaps the result of buying processed clothes, every now and then you get a dud...? Although I have NEVER experienced this before. (btw it's not the buttons, its definitely coming from the fabric.) I guess I will have to throw out the sweater after I remove the buttons and in the future smell the clothes before I buy them? But honestly no basset hound would have been able to predict this! so weird.
