This is shirt waist # 5. I drafted the pattern off of a favorite dress. I am certainly getting my milage out of this one. I have two more cut out, but am trying to get creative with them.
Today I had to do the button holes, buttons and a little hook on the inside of the waist to hold it together nicely. I took a lot of time using water soluble stabilizer around the buttonholes and waxing all the thread for the buttons and even used different color thread for the button holes depending on which color the button hole rested in. I am pleased. I love the colors, and the linen fabric.
Found the buttons yesterday.
Here you can see a purple button hole and a turquoise one.
