The buttons I used I acquired from Hancock Fabrics. They look somewhat like a basket weave. I thought the color was great and in my mind palm tree leaves can be used to weave baskets, thus the buttons.
I said this before but I truly loved sewing this fabric. I am currently write a review of the pattern for Pattern Review. I should post it sometime in the next few days. Be sure to view it and if is very helpful, please rate it as such.
Oh nice detail Linda! And I love fabric with a texture to it too. I think it makes it nicer to sew. Nice touch with the basket weave buttons. Little things like that make a big difference. I'll bet you get lots of compliments. :)
ReplyDeleteLinda ~ its done! its done! yippeee! I can see why you loved sewing the fabric ~ the jacket is very, very pretty! Uhmmmm are you just going to review it on patternreview? Maybe Stitcher's Guild too?
ReplyDeleteI got to see it in person tonight and it is beautiful material! Of course the sewing was exquisite. Ah, some day I will learn to sew as well as you Linda!
ReplyDeleteOoo .. I love the fabric too! I'll be watching for your review.
