How are you doing today? Day 3 in the sew-a-long brings us to the fly area!

I did both the functional and the non functional versions. Functional fly how-to is up first in the "lovely" green plaid fabric and non function in the actually lovely Sisboom fabric.

OK, on to the functional fly!

First I lined up the fly like the pattern shows - to get my ends turned under evenly.

Then I stitched down both sides of the fly, on the left fly and right fly.

Next I put the left and right fly's together and did the pentagon on the bottom as per the pattern

and I stitched the top square (shown in lovely pink artwork stitches)

Now, the fly is a bit ... drafty... So I decided a button really was a must have! I picked a nice small button, lined up the center of the front fly and let my auto button holer go to work!

To get the button in spot I am sure there is a better way to do it, but I always lay flat and then put a pic through the fabric right in the center of the button hole and then I know just where to center my button.

Ta-da! All done! Isn't it lovely ! Now if only I had remembered to switch out my white thread to something that blended better with the fabric. Oh well, at least the button matches!
