If your Mom is a reasonable sort - I would just trim it as well as I could, finish it off as well as possible, and have Mom wear it a lot so she has a reason to wash it often. Hopefully, that would take care of the excess Vilene.
bearisgray,
This is a Sweatshirt, that I opened up from the front, and was going to make it into a jacket. The stitching is on the front left of the jacket.
It looks like it's been through the ringer already. I can't send it to her like that. My mom is very humble and modest, and I'm sure she would not mind, but I'm not happy with the way it looks, so for now, it will just have to sit. I am going to work on the purse I was going to make along with the jacket. I won't be putting embroidery on that, so I'm sure the purse will come out spectacular!
Hugs,
Wanda
