Button Holing!

I've finally finished the little owl dress for my niece!  I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her - she popped by unexpectedly over the weekend which was lovely.

Here is a picture of the button holes marked out ready to sew.  I always measure and check at least twice before I actually sew the garment.  It's also very important to have a practice run on some fabric of the same weight as the garment to check that the stitches on the machine are at the correct tension and size!  Its also a good idea to check that your pen or chalk does wash out without leaving any residue marks.
