Button thru top - any ideas?

[Tamnymore]

McCalls do a number of pdfs now but this doesn't seem to have spread to Vogue patterns yet. Also I suspect that pattern sales will be fewer and farther in between at the moment. I haven't seen any on the US sites lately (and they were always having sales before) and they have hiked up their international postal charges too. But these things will all come back in due course, I suppose.

@Tamnymore - Pattern has arrived safely  - thank you
Have ordered some fabric from Immanuels to make a toile and will post my progress.

Oh good @annieeg . Glad to help! 
In days of yore  when the only way to get their stuff was in person I have visited Immanuels, the 'fabric church and have been overwhelmed by the £1 a metre room and so on - though not so overwhelmed that I was prevented from buying armfuls of stuff - I'm never so overwhelmed by fabric that I can't manage to buy something. 
How are they organising purchasing fabric now? Do you have to see the fabric on their Facebook page and then ring them up with an order?

I was tempted by a post from @Efemera about £2 per metre viscose, so I've taken the plunge with Facebook for the first time!
I rang Immanels and they advised me to take a picture of the fabric I want from the FB site and send that picture plus the required quantity via the messenger [chat] link. 
You pay by bank transfer or Paypal (they text you the paypal address).
I ordered 4 x 3 metre pieces of viscose at £2 per metre plus £5 postage.  (I didn't think £5 was OTT.)
I've paid and apparently my fabric is being sent out today
Sadly for my budget, however, I could become a frequent visitor to their FB shop

Thanks @annieeg . I might just take a little look......

I may have succumbed to a little (not so little) purchase. They are soooo cheap. £2 pm for jersey and viscose. Let's see what appears!
