Toggle Fail

I tried to make toggles with leather loops for my Campus Jacket.  Amy Christoffers‘ were really cute, but it just didn’t work for me.  (See, Amy Christoffers’ photo tutorial on toggle making.)

My sweater was too loose and the gaps in the front looked messy, so I snapped a photo and took them out.  I’m sewing the toggles on as buttons and going to create button holes with loose stitches. 

 

 

 

I grew really attached to the idea of a toggle and loop closure, so it was hard for me to take them out.  RIP little toggles.
