Then I got halfway through my first actual buttonhole on this coat and suddenly had the paralysing though that it actually didn't want one where I'd put it. S'ok, it's double breasted so does need one there and I can even add an internal button if it needs one. So definitely a panic but I learnt what a double breasted jacket is.
I wanted to be at least half way through sewing the shell. Instead I've got half a buttonhole. Ah well. It's not the end of the world. However you wouldn't have believed I could utter that sentence if you'd seen the full on tantrum I had earlier. Phew, toddlers would have cringed!
So I leave you with a pic of my practice buttonhole. Not bad really.

Well I think it is shnazzy for what it's worth :D
ReplyDeleteglad I am not the only one to have a tantrum when it seems the world is conspiring to throw you off kilter.
