I reckon anyone who is about to tackle 17 buttonholes deserves a special dispensation!

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Actually, I think I can get away with a mere 11 buttonholes!

indigotiger's Entry
What did you make and how did you play with the prints/patterns?
I made a long sleeve knit top, using a combination of six different knit fabrics, combined with reverse applique and embroidery:
Pattern used:
self-drafted TNT knit top pattern with raglan sleeves and a princess seamed front bodice
A short description on how you made it/problems overcome/etc:
I had just completed
a scrappy collage cardigan
and decided that making a long sleeve knit top to wear under it would be a creative "twin set". I wanted to continue using up the leftover scraps from various other knit top projects. This top used grey cotton floral jersey, grey/white marled hemp, black/cream marled hemp, black/cream striped cotton rib, blue/grey striped hemp, and black cotton/lycra jersey. I used some of my favorite Alabama Chanin style techniques of hand stitching, and reverse applique.
One difficulty I had was that there wasn't quite enough of the grey floral cotton to cut out the whole of the front and back pieces, so I had to add extra piecing to the sides of the pattern pieces (which isn't really visible when I wear it) and do some rather tricksy sorting out around the neckline in how I overlapped the pieces. Normally I would cut out the whole front pieces, and then stitch on any decorative bits, and only then cut away any excess layers... in this case, I had to use the pattern pieces to line up the collar layers atop the partial front panels, which was annoying, but the results were worth it.

I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to put my submission, so if it needs moved, I would be grateful if that could happen...

Sorry
@Manuela
, although you kindly gave me an extension I was called away to do some urgent sewing for DD then was away for the weekend so did not make deadline. Looking forward to seeing the entries from those who do manage to stick to deadlines.
