Part Two of the Maiden Voyage



This weekend I worked more on my 3-button sweater. Here's what I did:

Here I have taken in the arms, so they aren't humongous anymore, and also put darts in the shoulders, so they sit where they're supposed to, and not halfway down my bicep. Next, I pinned the fabric across the front where it will sit when I wear it, and drew on button holes.

So, my mom did the button holes for me (I know, it's cheating. Give me a break, I've used the sewing machine like, 3 times...). After we cut them open, I dyed the sweater purple. I actually ended up doing two rounds of dyeing because I didn't like the color it turned out the first time. That's what it looks like now; buttons are going on later.
