| It looks greenish because I had to lighten the pic so you could see the button holes. |
Who am I to argue with Kenneth King and Lindsay T? So, yesterday I marched myself over to Jonathan's and had my buttonholes made while I waited. Quite frankly, it took less time to walk there, wait for the buttonholes to be made and walk back to my office, stopping to pick up lunch on the way, then it would have taken to make the buttonholes myself. And look at how nice they are! Much better than the nicest buttonhole I could manage with either of my sewing machines. (Jonathan, you are officially on my Christmas card list.)
Thanks to all of you who suggested that this was the smart way to go and was not cheating. In the end, I agree. I'm really pleased with everything about this skirt, and these buttonholes are befitting all the work I put into it. So, score one for the good guys. Skirt reveal and review to come as soon as I sew on the buttons and take some pictures!
Have a great weekend!

way to go on a great-looking skirt! the keyhole buttonholes are so worth it, aren't they?
Totally! Thanks!
These are very nice. Looking forward to seeing the skirt.
See?! Look how pretty your buttonholes are! I loooove Jonathan's!
BTW, I started a Tumblr blog to catalog my sewing projects: http://lindsaytsews.tumblr.com/
OH! Lindsay, your raincoat IS fantastic!
Neat buttonholes and looking forward to your skirt.
They look uh-may-zing! Can I ask how you interfaced the waistband?
What a great idea. They look wonderful!
