I finished up last night and it fits nicely. I will get a picture of me wearing it in the next few days and post it. Yesterday I had to run out and purchase the buttons. It seems like such an easy task, but not always as easy as you think. Our local fabric store, G Street Fabric, has the most amazing button selection. For some reason though, as hard as I tried I could not find a proper blue button in the 'blue button' section. After nearly 20 minutes of comparing, I walked to the far end of the wall and found the most random blue button with dark edges. It's as if the buttons were made for this fabric. :)
By the way, I like using stabilizer when I make my button holes. I laid out a piece of water soluble stabilizer and marked the distance and placement of where I wanted the button holes. The product I use is called Super Solvy. Then I simply pinned the stabilizer strip against the front facing of the blouse. I sewed the button holes directly on top of the stabilizer and then clipped away the excess stabilizer right up close to the holes. When I wash the blouse any remaining tiny bits of sabilizer will wash out. The use of stabilizer will give your button holes a better finish and it becomes a terrific guide for perfect hole placement.
