FO: Womanizing Newcastle Cardigan Day 6

ボタンを買いに行って、やっとカーディガン完成しました！

Thread Theory Newcastle Cardigan

実は今までボタンホールがとても苦手で、ボタンがつくものはなるたけ避けていたんだけど、ボタンホールも練習してなんとかみったくなくない程度には出来るようになりました。

Practicing button holes

OK enough for me

Finally I went to Joann today and got some buttons, and today was all about concurring my fear of button holes.

I never had a success with the button holes with my machine and I have avoided any button holes so far. In fact, my previous Newcastle had snap buttons because of that reason.

Well, after several practice runs, I think I made some OK button holes. I will give myself a passing C. I forgot to lower the presser foot while sewing one of the button holes (because the fabric is very thick I did not realize the foot was still raised) and made a mess, and I did not have a button hole cutter and was too lazy to ask the Man of the House for a tool, so I used my not so sharp embroidery scissors to cut the holes and I think I cut more than a few threads and unraveled the button hole...

Anyway, overall, I think I'm happy with the result. I need to ask the Man of the House to take some photos so that I can see how it looks on me objectively.
