Very happy with the waistband it went on perfectly! Well I sewed it on, sewed the ends closed, cut the excess off and turned it through ... It made sense to me.

What Im not happy with are the closures. I thought bar closures would hold the thing together .. they didnt!
Maybe I sewed them on incorrectly and it took me hours !! stupid lil fiddly wriggly things !!!
So then the buttonhole foot came out! Trial buttonhole sewed perfectly
but when I came to sew the real thing it wouldnt feed correctly! I stopped the process and unpicked
Stupid lil teeny tiny stitches.
Another sample followed .. Perfect!
So I tried again and still it wouldnt feed through ... AND THEN ... the Splurgess kept flashing up ..
lower the buttonhole thingmy ... It was lowered!!!!
I gave up and spent the next hour or so unpicking stupid weeny teeny tiny stitches.
The waistband no longer looks so beautiful ... but IF I can get the Splurgess to sew properly today it will be ok and IF things go Pete Tong AGAIN! I have enough fabric to make another waistband!
So thats todays task ... Wish me luck!
