| button holes & buttons |
The hem finally done, I marked the button holes with a fine pencil, and fray checked them on both sides. I didn't add interfacing to the shirt's closure, although I should have, partly because I was lazy, and because the taffeta is a bit transparent, the interfacing making it opaque. There will be two types of buttons, neutral white buttons, from my granddad's general store, kept by my mom, for the hidden button placket, and sparkly flower buttons, for the front's top button and the cuffs. As long as they're visible, they might aswell look sparkly.
+ Upcycle is the word, and I love using items that have some history on my costumes. Although I never met my granddad, I like to feel connected to him through the surviving items from his store.
- I hate making button holes...
THE CUNNING PLAN
Because it's a pain to make button holes, I'm going back to the jacket, and make one or two in between.
