Buttonholes are evil!

[castalia]

Argh. I hate buttonholes. And although I like many things about the old sewing machine of my mother's I'm using, I hate its antiquated buttonhole "function". Or should I say "functions", as you have to do them in stages. Hate.

Other than that, happy with D*C costume progress. Buttonholes and maybe a jabot to finish, then on to the last of the accessories.

Wow, I've been reading too much 19th century literature. A 'buttonhole' in British English is a flower worn in one's coat lapel buttonhole. From the French boutonniere.

Anyway, I saw your comments on steamfashion, and I thought I'd add you as a friend. I'm the evil alter-ego of anti_censorship, or maybe they're my evil alter-ego. I'm not quite sure.

Heh, that does confuse things somewhat. I remember that usage from Jeeves and Wooster, but I've never heard it in real life.

Nice to meet you, despite the unpleasant circumstances over in that post. I'll be at Dragon*Con as well, so I'm looking forward to some open discussion in the panels.
