maija dress »

Instructions

if you don't already know how to do buttons, it wouldn't hurt if you practice a bit before you do the buttonholes on your non-replacable thrifted material.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Girls

Style: Classic, Retro / Vintage, Cute


Materials

thrifted cotton fabric. 3 thrifted buttons. bias tape. lace.

What was your inspiration?

to make another maija dress but this time with buttons as the pattern calls for. before this dress i was afraid of buttons:( they seemed like a pain in the butt......

What are you most proud of?

doing three buttons instead of going for the easy and beautiful invisible zipper. the buttonholes are by no means very pretty, but they work.

I think it looks cute. Do you have a button hole foot? Does your machine have a buttonhole setting? Is it a 4 step process with your machine?
