My mom hates buttonholes and tells horror stories about nearly finished garments being RUINED at the buttonhole stage -- but I have sewn with her and I know that she never wants to test ANYTHING; she just wants to dive in and get done. That's great for down and dirty sewing like slipcovers or Halloween costumes, but not for something like a blouse. Anyway, I think your daughter will love her blouse. Hope we get to see a pic of her wearing it!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-17912294002371893182016-10-31T09:43:58.067-05:002016-10-31T09:43:58.067-05:00The shirt looks great, especially putting her name...The shirt looks great, especially putting her name inside!

The older one is a marvel!Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-71729619375799349162016-10-31T08:28:41.224-05:002016-10-31T08:28:41.224-05:00Just one word of advice when you give the beautifu...Just one word of advice when you give the beautiful shirt to Syd: Do NOT say 'It looks huge' .....Lol. <br /><br />I have a Singer buttonholer attachment in a green metal box that I have never used. I need to get it out and experiment with it.

I've only used it on old straight-stitch Singers and had no idea it could go on a Bernina with the adaptor foot. Thanks for that interesting tidbit.<br /><br />To change the buttonhole length, I have a cheat sheet I made, listing the settings for the 5/8" and 3/8" buttonholes, the two I use most often. It's not that hard to switch if you know where to put the knobs.Sew Lady Sew!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16892779463014418535noreply@blogger.com
