7:45

At home, at 7:45-ish

picking out five cream colored buttons for a summer frock

with the help of miss wolf, and a hot iron.

.....

I kept forgetting to take photos on the appropriate days and hours for this week's Corner View. So instead of giving up and not participating, I decided to photograph any 7:45 when I remembered ... and I finally remembered this morning while sewing.
Here is my very loose, very white interpretation. Hope it passes :)

Hi Janis! Funny - I also did some white, loose sewing yesterday. Only the final ironing and a belt are missing. I was so proud of myself: just when I thought I was ready I noticed that some cloth had been caught under the edge seam (how do you call it??). So I had to unstitch and start all over again... I felt like wanting to throw the whole thing somewhere out of sight. But then I thought about how happy I would be wearing it next weekend... And I finnished it :).

Sewing is nice.

Oh, I can't wait to see the final outcome! That fabric looks lovely for summer!

Thanks so much for your super sweet words!

Happy Day, Janis!

Janis said...

To All - you are the best, thank you for all your sweet comments!
xoxoxoxo, j.

Cabrizette and Jennifer - you make me blush, thank you! Though as much as I love "genius" I really don't deserve that! xoxo

Sohvi - Oh did I have my frustrations as well! I always have to "rip out" seams and do them over again no matter how careful I am :)
Happy sewing!

Ritva - Yes white! Dreamy, wonderful ... hugs back!

Cris - the buttons themselves are so much fun, but the buttonholes are another story all together ! :)

Jennifer - what can I say? you always manage to yank my heart.
