I am ready for August! To celebrate and taking a bit of a cue from
Collete's how to develop good sewing habits I have decided that all the outfits I make this month will involve buttons!! Yes buttons and specifically button holes. Outrageous I know! But I want to be a better sewer so this month I am going to attempt some discipline (unless of course I win the pattern over at
Handmade by Carolyn and then that jacket might be my one exception!!! ). So, a couple of outfits that I would like to make that will challenge my previous unwritten no button hole policy:
1.
Banksia Top by Megan Nielsen. Liberty fabric and buttons already purchased for this one so I should definitely get this one done this month and
2. no. 15 drape cardigan from She has a Mannish Style. There are plenty of buttons on that little beauty!!
And we'll see what else pops up during the month! But it must have buttons and a buttonhole!!!
Oh, I love your sewing plans; that Japanese book has such fun and interesting designs, doesn't it? and the banksia top is my favourite from her range... I cannot wait to see your new creations!

That's ok! I have written the pattern number down in case the mood inspires me another time. I must not be distracted this month- it's buttons for me!
ReplyDeleteI do love the 'mannish style' book.. Lots of great things in there.
