Sometimes you just have to use paper to get a good buttonhole! My machine did NOT like putting buttonholes in this drapey rayon fabric, even though I interfaced it. Good thing I did some samples first! I also tried wash-away stabilizer and it was just as bad as without. Paper it is! Everything feeds much more evenly and I just rip it off once the buttonhole is stitched.

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
Dropped off the dress and hat with my client this morning. Lighting wasn't great but here's a photo of the hat and a couple more from when I was working on it. Can't wait to see photos she gets on Saturday!
