On Sewing Wool

I chose such a THICK wool to make this jumper.  So thick that I had to edge stitch every single seam as well as do two rows of stitching around the neck and armholes.  Then I debated on the buttons--a navy?  No, yellow.  All different yellows.  Ryan agreed.  Olive loved the buttons.  She only wished they were on the front...perhaps she could just wear it backwards.  

I wouldn't be surprised one bit.

  6. Mom, one of 5 buttons came from Dondaemun (the middle one--remember the ones with the little gem that were so pricy? I need to come back to Korea...)

    White Lily--When you have a girl I will send you something just for her, boutique or not.
