Dear blog

Today was an interesting day, I decided to sew a new jacket I bought a while ago, its such a nice looking jacket/coat. As it was missing a few buttons, I hunted around my house looking for all the different types of buttons I had lying around and what i found was amazing. There were square shaped buttons, triangle shaped buttons and oddly enough there were rectangle shaped buttons, but after looking for about an hour and a half, I found these really nice war type buttons which suited the coat quite well. The original buttons were much bigger than these so I had to make the button hole smaller which only took a few minutes. I was getting happy with how my coat was turning out so I quickly finished it up and tried it on to make sure it fitted, which it did. 

Now I've got to keep it away from my granddaughter as i know she will be interested in it. I do alot of hand sowing and sowing. I've made hats, scarfs, socks and all sorts of other clothes. It's more of a hobby than a chore. Anyways using a sewing machine is a piece of cake for myself as i've done it for about 70 odd years. Well I am off to do some more sewing, this time it's a peggy coat.
