I sat down last night to sew on those gold buttons. Just 5. There were a few bumps along the way....
I must have gotten cheap thread because on one of them the thread got stuck and I had to cut the bugger and start over. There were 2 buttons on the sleeves and 3 on the front of the coat. After I got the 2 on the sleeves done...they went pretty smooth, so I must have gotten kind of cocky like I was going to start changing ALL the buttons on everything I had.....I started with the front. Whoa there nellie......
I was cutting off the buttons only as I was doing them [meaning that I did NOT cut all of the buttons off at once] First one...check. Start cutting off the second one...whoops I just realized I cut off the one I had just sewn on....yeah...you read that right. Cuss myself out. Decide right then and there....no more button changing.
I tried to get a really good picture but they all make the coat look navy. It is not. It is purple.
But....hey it is done. Voila. Ta Da. Bam.
