I'm looking forward to seeing how this jacket of yours turns out! :)poppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-91547130831988963712013-06-26T17:18:57.201-07:002013-06-26T17:18:57.201-07:00Huh, I've never tried any hand-done buttonhole...Huh, I've never tried any hand-done buttonholes, either. I have a vintage costume drafting book which shows oodles of stitches for doing buttonholes. That's one of those thing I'll do in my "someday" category!<br /><br />I like the one on the top right, too. It's elliptical (eye?) shape looks sharp.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756048999067152284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-88301890591417994182013-06-26T14:36:01.540-07:002013-06-26T14:36:01.540-07:00Thanks for the link Amy!

Another option to try might be this method Sherry did here - http://buzzybeesworld.blogspot.co.nz/2011/09/bound-buttonholes-some-refinements.html. I auditioned about 7 different buttonholes for a cashmere cape last winter. Finally went with this one using silk charmeuse (my lining fabric) as the buttonhole "welts" and I was really pleased. I *think* interfaced the charmeuse for a bit of crispness.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-34935836130118047982013-06-26T03:41:47.632-07:002013-06-26T03:41:47.632-07:00I had never heard of Spanish buttonholes until the...I had never heard of Spanish buttonholes until the Sydney Sewers High Tea and Francis had a gorgeous jacket with these buttonholes. I didn't get to inspect them too closely but they look at less bulky than a bound buttonhole. I like the look of the bottom one using the thicker wool, but I suppose it all depends on the width/depth of your button.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691687252337993643noreply@blogger.com
