A Small Victory! The Beignet!!!

I did it! I finally got over my buttonhole fear. My needlecord Beignet had been languishing in the UFO pile for ages but I finally decided to do it and 12 buttonholes later it was finished!
It has Mustard lining to match the buttons and the butt pocket is gone! Its super comfy and is a lot more flattering than I anticipated.
I like it so much that I've already started making the second one! In that Liberty Bunting Cord! Next time though I'm making sure that I cut at least one size down it is far too big but is fine to be comfy in!

  8. The color combo is fab. I haven't opened my beignet pattern yet out of a button fear too. And, well, I am working on another project at the moment. But I think I might dive in it next.
