Today, I sewed the button holes.  It was a bit tricky.  Lining up the needle with starting point was a bit tough to nail.  The shirt is almost done, I just have to hem the sleeve and bottom.  Stay tuned to see pics of the final shirt. . .

I am starting a new design project, sewing a short sleeve seersucker shirt, using a dark pink seersucker fabric.  The fabric I am using is leftover from a skirt I made.  The singer machine I'll be sewing on is my Featherweight 221. The pattern is a McCall's.  It says "easy", we'll see about that.  It requires 4 button holes so, stay tuned for more blogs about making the button holes, and my progress. . . .
