I picked up the fabric for this shirt from the Fabricana (Coquitlam, BC – review to come) customer appreciation sale for 25% off. I had a vision of the buttons and I had to have them. I picked them up at Button Button (Vancouver, BC – review to come).
Mushroom Top - Front
I made this shirt a size 2. My 7 month old niece is coming to visit today, and I will see how the sizing works for a baby dress. My niece is a giant baby but I think the arm holes might be a little large.

Buttons frustrate me! It is so hard to find the right colour, size and style. But when you find the perfect button, it makes the hassle worth it. I can now sew on buttons like a semi-pro. Maybe I should try zippers next?
Once again I used french seams because they rock my world! I just wish I had a better machine to zip over multiple layers. I have feed issues when I hem over the french seams; I end up feeding it along by hand in those areas, but it doesn’t always work out.
