Stephanie, Wonderful!! Your skirt is beautiful! good job filling in that gap! 12 button holes is a lot of work, they look great! I have never done bound button holes, now I want to try them. I really like the red too, this skirt will go with so much.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Your bound buttonholes look fantastic! And love the belt too! What a great staple.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Beignet, the color looks lovely on you. :)
ReplyDeleteThis skirt is so lovely. I've been thinking of making one for myself but I have this fear of buttonholes. For some reason they never turn out right for me. Your skirt rocks!
ReplyDeleteSooo cute! And that belt. Absolutely adorable. 12 buttonholes. Yikes. I could never have done 12 bound buttonholes. I get frustrated when I have to do just 3 or 4.
ReplyDeletevery cute flower! I am a sucker for flowers.
ReplyDeletepretty:) I love how individual you are!
