bertanaThe weekend before last, I got the lining for my coat for MidEastFeast pieced together; last night, I got the stripey fabric for the outside of the coat pieced, and started putting the two together.
And then realized I hadn't made any provisions for buttoning. Um. Hi. Oops?
I thought about lucet cord, but ... maybe I'm doing it wrong or too tight, but my lucet cord always starts out incredibly stiff, and I really have to work it / wash it / use it a bunch of times before it gets more flexible. I quickly luceted up about eight inches of cord to see if I could use that for button loops and yep: pain in my ass. My ass, folks, it needs no pain.
Someone suggested going to JoAnn's or Michael's and getting 'button loop tape'; I was told it's usually in the bridal section.
Anyone-- thoughts, suggestions?
