Yesterday I finished Miss E's woolly version of the Oliver+s Class Picnic blouse.
Today I put the finishing touches to Miss Z's.

| The elastic casing |
As I was using a woollen knit fabric,I omitted the separate bias casing and extended the sleeve piece by a inch at the top,folded this over and sewed it to make the casing.
This worked very well.

| Its finished! But..... |
Miss Z thought it a little plain.

I suggested some painted mother of pearl buttons.
Miss Z suggested a random sprinkle of mother of pearl buttons.
Hmmmmmm...
So here we have it,a random sprinkle of buttons,stitched in black,orange and cream.
Ta-dah!
Fantastic! Though I thought the painted MOP buttons were great too! Must find some of those!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I really liked those bird buttons! But you didn't make it for me... ;)
