Real...Wow, you have got a lot of projects going on. Really good idea to do mix the sewalong with the Mad Men challenge! I'm tempted to do it too, but I too have loads of projects at the moment... oooh I wish I had more time. I hadn't heard of the craft swap, it's such a good idea! But I'm not sure I'm confident to do it, my makes are good enough for me, but I don't know if I feel they're good enough for anyone else... I'm excited to see what you come up with!

Maybe I should make the Mathilde blouse to get buttonhole and pintuck practice.

AND I've just put myself forward as a potential pattern tester for Megan Nielsen, which, if I was selected,would mean making something else in a month.

HOP says you can state if you're not hugely confident in your crafting skills, so she can match you accordingly. I'm nervous about it too, but I think it will be really good fun!<br /><br />P.S. On the button tutorial front, I haven't done anything about this yet, but Tilly (do you follow her?)referred to a good tutorial here. I haven't read through it, but might be worth a peak? http://makezine.com/craft/101/sewing101_buttonholes/<br /><br />P.P.S No idea what's going on with my crazy font changes in this post. I've tried editing and reposting, but it's made no difference!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525020848581000170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-60645194290906902872013-02-20T03:26:56.619+00:002013-02-20T03:26:56.619+00:00I'm so interested to see how you come along wi...I'm so interested to see how you come along with your dress - genius to combine the challenge and sewalong. I wish I had the expertise to advise you on the zip/hip (sorry couldn't resist) question so hopefully someone with more experience than me will chime in. I got the e-mail on the craft swap and I keep going back and forth as to whether I have the skills to actually make something for someone else. It sounds like fun though.Sharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908776705406030872noreply@blogger.com
