I like big butt(on)s and I cannot lie...


sundaybrunch
This is my take on the Oliver+S Sunday Brunch Jacket.  I made it with some linen I bought while we were in Japan and I bound the seams with some pink and white stripy cotton I had in my stash.  The jacket is supposed to have four little buttons (a bit like a band jacket) but the proportions looked a bit off next to the small polkadots so I switched them for one big button.  To be honest I couldn't really be bothered sewing four button holes and I doubt Minty would ever sit still long enough for me to do them all up anyway!  

Apologies for the slightly crummy photos - my pneumonia patient wasn't interested in moving to a better lighting situation so we had to make do!

    It's perfect! Awesome fabric and it looks better with one big BUTT anyway.
    Man, I am so lazy, gotta get my girl's coat done ... been a few months... at least I know it's too big for her so it's not like she needs it desperately. ho hum.

    I think I agree about the button and one is so much easier.

    It's really really lovely! Just like a boutique design. The stripy bias is so fun.
