The Summer Wizarding Event has gotten me back into sewing. Yesterday I repaired the nylon purse of a friend and sewed the skirt and apron for one of the Event Day characters.
The character's personality is a bit fuss-and-fluster, so the patterns on the two pieces don't quite match to reflect this. But she likes fine little details. So I gave the pocket a pointed "lapel" and Art Deco button for finish.
Searching for the button (in a jar of collected new, vintage, and antique buttons) had me in a button-y frame of mind. ;-) I have several (ok, 8!) plastic storage bins of fabric stashed away in our basement. The buttons gave me ideas for future sewing projects.
