buttonholes, lots of buttonholes

In addition to darts and zips, buttonholes are one of the things I shy away from. Comes in handy that I sew a lot with stretch material, making dresses that at least don't need zips or buttonholes, given that most tops need darts...

But as I like a challenge, I finally gave this shirtdress a go with no less than 8 buttonholes. And after a few attempts (on scrap fabric), they actually turned out rather well. 

The fabric somehow reminds me of PJs...
