As I said previously, I'm not really a button up shirt fan but this one has made a believer of me.

I don't have one (they can be a bit pricey ) but I think they would be worth it if a person is planning on doing a lot of button holes. <br /><br />Your version of the Archer is the first one that has me thinking I might want to make it. You did a beautiful job! Thank you for sharing it.

I've been messing around with an old Dritz bound buttonhole maker, so the tip is timely. I like your ruffle butt too. I thought that was a cute pattern detail, but thought it would really look funny with certain fabrics. Yours looks great and is totally encouraging for that style detail. Thanks for the shout out too!!Claire Sewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14835150122907544504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378623664799105408.post-56145753483037815232013-06-08T06:24:14.154-05:002013-06-08T06:24:14.154-05:00Beautiful shirt!
