lacing Fail

[izodiea]

A little while ago I hit up a local beading store that was going out of business for lacing for my Jodhpurs. Since It was 60% off I bought 40 yards. Today I started to space out the yardage.
Back panels 14 yards x 2 + front panels 13 yards X 2 = total 54 yards!

Soooo I need to buy more lacing, anyone interested in splitting a spool with me?
First choice: http://www.cheeptrims.com/store/item.asp?Category=98&SubCategoryID=371&GroupID&SKU=CR-805
Second choice: http://www.cheeptrims.com/store/item.asp?Category&SubCategoryID&GroupID&SKU=CR-818

Or if anyone is interested in the original cording, it would be nice to apply my investment towards the new stuff. Message me if interested!




It took some cursing, but I finally managed to get my machine to make keyhole buttonholes!!! Some of them still arn't perfect (Example second down) but they look good enough once buttoned.
I think I am going to switch out the larger waistband button for a smaller one...so they all match. I thought I would like the effect, but I don't. I'll just zig-zag the rest of the hole closed.
Has anyone ever noticed that buttonholes on jeans are actually tear-shaped? It looks like some kind of chain-stitch, and it's on all my jeans I checked.


Aside from the Lacing Failure, the pants are now 100% done and have been graded by my teacher. Today I started the Collars + Sleeves Section, fallowed by jackets. I am so excited for the Napoleon collar!
