yorkshire lass said... Very smart skirt. I salute you and your fifteen buttonholes!! The whole pattern has some cute items in it. What a find. 4/11/10 12:41 PM
QuiltSewSewSue said... I love the buttons down the front of the skirt. I made a skirt like this 'back then' but more like the pattern envelope with less buttons (from what I could see). Love your fabric choice and look forward to seeing it in the photos on you! 4/11/10 9:06 PM

bananaoil said... Cute skirt… I've hesitated with buttoned skirts (and even dresses) because of how they may gape when you sit down. Thanks for the tip for handling buttons in critical areas. I like the coffee theme---mmmmmm… coffee… it will go nicely with the previously themed teal items. 4/17/10 10:12 AM
Christas said... Very nice skirt! The buttons really do add a very nice detail! 4/17/10 10:38 AM
Ann Smith said... Very neat current interpretation of this older pattern. Your idea about securing the buttons is one I will use. I've had that kind of wardrobe malfunction more than once! 11/17/11 1:53 PM
JillyBe said... I Love the way you've styled this! What a wonderful take on the fabric, pattern, & buttons - just beautiful! 11/17/11 5:41 PM
Rhonda in Montreal said... Neat button function, Ruthie!! Also quite a task to sew all those nice, straight buttonholes, eh ;D 11/17/11 9:43 PM
Cathy Loves Fabric said... I love your skirt and the belt. It never occurred to me to make some buttonholes functional and others not. Great solution! 11/18/11 2:31 AM
