I did not have enough material to cut the ruffles on the bias, but I like it anyway. I did the buttonholes with my embroidery machine: digitised one (copied and pasted twice) and a placement line too - they are exactly the same and exactly horizontal, but just sewing them would have been faster.
I love your method of doing buttonholes, Martine - if I do them the old fashion way, they never come out right, so I try not to do them ;-) I'll have to try this.
Thanks for the tip. *'s 4 you
