Sew a little- Stitch a little and you are on your way to conservation~

This is just a little project I have been working on. My uncles were redoing this old house and found all these old magazines and baby clothes. Well i took this one garment. I looked it up and its technically called a "sacque" it is full of moth and other insect holes. My mom was just going to throw it away so I took it and began to buttonhole stitch around the holes. I am using the holes as a starting point to conserve the work that someone put into this garment 100 years ago. They are turning out really neat. They look kind of like Lichen.
