Things I learned
- Measure carefully before you make buttonholes. Like, really carefully. (I managed to put them in the wrong place not once but twice, by which time I was so fed up that I left them where they were).
- Bias tape is AMAZING!*
- Sewing to a deadline when you feel kind of poorly on a Monday evening isn't nearly as fun as messing about making interesting looking pockets on a Saturday afternoon.
I got extremely cross with the sewing machine whilst I was making these. Particularly those buttonholes... so much frustration... and the pyjamas don't even have any buttons! Noah was in the room at the time and witnessed my grumpiness. I don't think he'd realised before what the actual process of making stuff looks like... he was kind of surprised. And understandably so: regardless of creation frustrations, I'm always insufferably delighted as soon as I finish a garment!
*Seriously amazing. Just put that stuff anywhere near an iron and suddenly you can transform it into whatever shape you like!
