satin shrug? jacket.

Nothing on my quilting life to post....I quilted a customer quilt (will be posted on other blog soon). I made a satin shrug for a friend's daughter's wedding. Not as easy as I thought, here are my plans;

• Plan A; small nylon snaps to hold jacket in place.
  
• small nylon snaps do not stay snapped if any stress is on them
• Plan B; use large nylon snaps
  
• calling ahead to find out if Hancock's has the big snaps was worthless
• I have amazing children-son did not complain when I used his only hour in the evening to go on wild goose chase after big snaps, and then they did not have them.
• Visited 4 fabric stores and called one downtown-no large nylon snaps
• David's bridal will not sell snaps to the public, very nice though, offered to sew the snaps on for me if I got the gown to them immediately...the wedding was the next day.
• Plan C; small strong magnets sewn in;
• electronic store is sold out of their small strong magnets.
• Plan D; clear buttons with loops.
  
• Hancocks doesn't sell clear buttons, (yes, trip Number 2)
• had to climb stairs and dig through jar of my buttons where I found many clear buttons. I only looked at the fabric store to save my poor hip from climbing the stairs at the house.
• bracelet making elastic cord made a fine loop for the buttons.
