Cutwork button---this is my second attempt because on the first one I had too much lace and it looked like a sunflower.
The base fabric is cream duchess satin and the lace is cream as well.
The centre section is a piece of cream silk organza that had cutwork on it and I layered it on top of a piece of pale pink cotton Voile.
I had much difficulty attaching the lace--my fingers are too short and stubby to handle fiddly bits.
These elegant button covers are perfect for a simple outfit you want to dress up or to pair with an elegant sweater! This set includes two (2) button covers.
This button placement certainly seems odd to me (I don't think I'll EVER button it) but I do love the button that I chose and the little loop is pretty cute. It can just always stay open. No problem.
Really, I have a few other bones to pick with the pattern too, from the too-short length to the fact that the placket is supposed to be made REALLY long and then sewn partway shut (??) to the unfinished seams on the inside (I made some of them into French seams to at least cut down on the raw edges a little bit).
And please don't pay attention to the poor quality of my bias-tape-sewing there. That part was done about 4 years ago, when I'd really not done much sewing at all.
I'm thinking I rented this camera - probably from lensrentals.com, or somewhere else - the pix was taken somewhere in Lee County/Tupelo, Mississippi area. Just messing with that camera back in 2009.
Day 339-- I am thankful for the baby who stretched my perfect, beautiful, little belly button into a strange, diagonal, half-in-half-out double navel curiousity.
I am also thankful for the wisdom to know that some day I will miss this funny little belly the way I now miss my old, culturally "perfect" belly.
I didn't edit out any of my stretch marks, because that would have defeated the purpose of this photo altogether. You can even see the one that cuts through my stretched-out birthmark. And yet, I really like this.
I had Ben in the studio today and he was oh so cute! I also had a wonderful photographer friend Miya join me.

I think we have 3 or 4 more girls in BA dresses, but could not fit them into the photo. Been a strange day, so this photo cheered me up.
Grabbed a mushroom out of the fridge, put it on a piece of red paper and shot it using my macro lens. As it is too hot today (42C) to venture outdoors, I am getting my inspiration from inside the house.
Taken with iPhone 3GS with this home-made macro lens from a disposable camera.
Center the felt over the hole and glue it on the backside. Then clip the felt around the outer edge so you can fold it over.
