that had six unoriginal, boring brown buttons:
I made cloth covered buttons with Amy Butler fabric to replace them. I embroidered the fabric a bit to make the patterns jump out. Then I sewed a brown running stitch to outline the pockets, collar, and back piece:
Much better, yes?
Better! Yes!
ReplyDeletejust gorgeous blog you
ReplyDeleteYes a HUGE improvement there. :) And what would be cute with that would be a green scarf to match the buttons!
ReplyDelete*sigh* We're such a fashionable family... hehehe ;-D
Or even brown for the stitches! :)
