Buttonhole Stitch

[Linda B]

Okay - I have done it. I have had a day to stitch, and I dived right in. My Buttonhole adventures are at

What I am interested in, at my stage in life (grin), is doing complicated seam variations, with very occasional small beads. But mainly seams in very simple threads, relying on the stitches and colour for effect. However I have been laying down really basic stitches, and then varying the "value-adding". So what I am doing now, is trying to vary that first line of stitches a bit, so I played around with one of Sharon's version of Buttonhole.

The other thing this has made me do, if check which of my seams I have scanned and "classified" (I am a classifier), and have found I have missed out on heaps. So I have made all sorts of sets in my photos in flickr (look on the righthand side), and have been uploading some of my combinations up there.

Thanks Sharon!

I never knew the buttonhole stitch could be so versitile. These pages have opened up a lot of possibilities.
