Is that crazy? The floral one is pretty too, don't get me wrong, but if they were mine, I could see reaching for the turquoise one more often. I've had that button thing happen to me before, and while I don't know for 100% certain, I think it has to do with the placement of the button and the button hole on the waistband. This happened to me on a pair of jeans, and I moved the button slightly closer to the side seam and it helped. Hope the kids don't drive you too crazy!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039252141722591717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-37108589280323081322016-05-25T19:19:21.071-04:002016-05-25T19:19:21.071-04:00I think these are both cute!

Maybe a tiny snap in between the waistband and first button would keep it in place? I have to say, I really love that you often make two or more of the same pattern and post them at the same time. Seeing the same pattern side by side in different fabrics or with fitting tweaks gives a very good review of a pattern. Good luck with the last week of school!lisa g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09891757600316953288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-42888653866382827542016-05-25T06:50:13.703-04:002016-05-25T06:50:13.703-04:00That black tencel skirt sounds just perfect!

I would pair it with a brightly coloured tank top...but not the tank tops of today, more the sort like a camisole with wide straps, and maybe a shirred hem band.<br /><br />Maybe sort of like these<br />http://www.sewingpatternheaven.com/shop/mccalls-pattern-7580-lace-ruffles-tank-top-camisole-size-16/<br /><br />https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/233221295/womens-tank-tops-pattern-mccalls-6069?utm_source=Tumblr&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Sharekatherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-88370794807202350892016-05-24T13:09:06.294-04:002016-05-24T13:09:06.294-04:00First of all, I adore that midi length on you, esp...First of all, I adore that midi length on you, especially with your clogs. It is everything I love about 1970s style, and looks flattering and graceful on you. I really like the turquoise skirt too, because the solid shows off the details of the skirt and it's a beautiful color, but solids also unfortunately show every little issue, am I right? Especially in a crease-y linen. Perhaps in a stretch woven fabric it would be more forgiving? But I am super into this pattern on you! Make more!

However, I understand why you prefer the rayon one. Now do you understand why I sew a pattern 4-5 times? You can work out each issue and end up with better garments with multiple sews. One mor version should make you a great skirt!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.com
