My riding habit is lame

Ok, so I know that the fabric for this riding habit/pirate thing was a relatively cheap find from the local cheap fabric store, but I didn't expect it to be this crappy.

When I first started cutting I noticed a little black splotch; it looked like a stain from either black dye or dirty machine oil from the mill, and since I had already washed the fabric I figured it wasn't going anywhere so I should just try to cut around it.

Well, while pressing up the skirt's hem yesterday and doing a bunch of the other assembly, I noticed that there are more.  Huge.  Black.  Splotches.  Everywhere.

Sigh.

Also, my hand-sewn buttonholes look awful.  I wanted them to be big and obvious and contrasting, so I used embroidery thread, but they are just huge and obvious and ugly and cartoonish.  I've done the pocket flaps and sleeve cuffs but I'm just going to make plain machined holes for the front closure.

So with the fabric already being as flawed as it is, plus my buttonhole failure, I'm not going to waste my time doing anything other than the bare minimum of finish work on this to make it wearable.

On the plus side, at least now I won't have to worry about getting it dirty or wrecking it at the park this weekend.
