Pink Lady

This little lady is made from soft pink paisley and inner matching stripes. I cut her image out of a separate print cotton material and attached her using a decorative stitch. The inside top of the pocket also utilizes a decorative stitch albeit a different one then on the lady. The button is a semi see through rose. This was my first attempt at using the button and button hole feet on the sewing machine. I made a tester and the button hole came out fine. I switched feet for the actual button, I set the size for the holes in the button, but it seemed to move around a bit and I broke a needle as it hit the button! Next time I watched and moved very slowly, adjusting the position of the needle as I needed to, which was pretty much every stitch!. This worked so I was then ready to finish up. The only grey area for me was that in the manual it said pull the top thread down to tie in a knot with the bottom bobbin thread, but I could find a way for this to be possible with the fabric in between and there for in the way? So I tied off the best I could. Then I went on to do it for real on my pink lady. Now of course this button isn't flat enough to use in the button foot to size it, so I used a button of comparable size. This button also doesn't have holes in the center and due to it's bulkiness I also couldn't use the machine to attach it (wouldn't fit under the foot), so instead I stitched it on by hand. Have a great weekend everyone!
