Just like there is a little symbol next to Crown Items, there ought to be a symbol next to things that you had Stitched, so that you don't forget that you did that and sell by accident something you meant to keep forever.
I just got my Myth Girl a Genie outfit as a Stitch Pattern, but aside from the fact that the boots were a Crowns purchase and a no-no to me to sell, the hat and robe have no icon or anything on them to re- mind me that I want to keep her Genie Outfit forever ...
It'd be nice, then, to add a little (S) or something to an item in your inventory, in addition at anything that is already marked with the (C), to help prevent accidents that would require item restoration.
