shirt finished

It took me until today to sew the buttonholes on the shirt I finished a week ago. I hate sewing buttonholes. It’s the last thing left to do and I always worry it will somehow wreck the shirt that was totally fine until then.Â
My current machine (Janome MemoryCraft 3500) does wonderful automatic buttonholes but I still flashback to the last machine I had - an entry level Singer that I got for my 21st birthday and used for 15 years. It did the four-step buttonhole and I guess it used to work in the beginning, but all I have left are memories of totally ruined shirts and total frustration. Do you know how hard it is to rip out a buttonhole and sew it again (and sew again and rip again and repeat) and not have the fabric totally shredded and wrecked.
Deep breath. This is a different machine. I just have to remind myself of that. Anyway, of course it all went fine, so enough with the bad memories. I bought some cute little red buttons - still not sure about that collar but it’s wearable and the shirt fits well.

That’s all!

It turned out really cute. Love the buttons to match!! I haven’t attempted button holes. I’m afraid. LOL. My machine has a button hole feature on it. But it still scares me!
