Love in Paris Dress {Pattern and Tutorial}... Have you seen the movie Midnight in Paris by Woody Allen? I am not typically a Woody Allen fan, my hubby and I rented this not knowing it was one of his. But I must admit, we actually really liked it! The screenplay was something so different than anything we had ever seen. Owen Wilson was fantastic in it, and his leading ladies were so fascinating each in their own right. So much so, that I simply had to remake one of their 20′s dresses into something for my own kids. And that is how Chloe and Madeline came upon their Easter dresses this year. I decided to make Chloe’s in all pink linen, with contrasting pink trim. We had a lot of fun at the photo shoot. But I must admit, I think I like Madeline’s version more. Whenever I ask Madeline what she wants to wear she always says the same thing – ‘flowers’.

Enjoy. going home to roost Fabric Covered Buttons The origin of buttons is difficult to establish, but the word itself probably stems from either the French bouton for bud or bouter to push. The French were passionate about the potential of the button and by 1250 had established the Button Makers Guild. The Guild produced beautiful buttons with great artistry, much to the delight of the aristocracy. The peasants, however, weren’t allowed to join this button fest, even if they could afford it. Jump seven centuries to the twentieth century, and fabric covered buttons hit great heights in popularity, particularly self-covered buttons. When home sewing is concerned, I don’t know about you, but I find adding a detail that aids the polished finish of one of my creations is no bad thing! Of course, there’s no rule to say that you must stick to self-fabric when covering (or getting covered) buttons, in precisely the same way that there is no need for your buttons need stick to the garment base colour at all if you decide otherwise.
