Love the story of the button, and I think I remember the yarn. My mum was the knitter and she made me a cotton jumper in pink and cream and the yarn was nobbly, it was the 80's too. I love choosing buttons from my inherited collection for the back of makes. Thanks for sharing your sewing story
Thanks Sarah - there definitely were pink and cream options too, so it's likely to be the same! I have buttons that my grandma saved from all kinds of garments, and I just wish I could ask her where they came from! ❤️
With all the negative news regarding this 'jag' I can only say you're a brave woman. I notice a lot of sewists mentioning if and when they get this jag. Not sure that it's relevant to sewing? However, just my opininion.
I think people have to make their own minds up about their own health, and I choose to be vaccinated - for myself and my friends and family. I think there has been less open negativity in the UK than in other countries. I also mentioned Eurovision which isn’t sewing either but I notice you didn’t reference that. The #FridaySews hashtag is meant to be a little about sewing but also a little general catch up which is why you may hear people talking about non-sewing things. Hope this helps to clarify!
Perfect pairing of fabric and pattern, Marie! Your dress is gorgeous and so feminine! Love the story behind the button! I love retro things/fashion! 💜
