TARDIS Tuesday- The temporary Caretaker

Hello there!
Greetings on this fine (?) TARDIS Tuesday.
Today, I am returning to my favourite Who assistant, the irrepressible Clara Oswald, to a Series 8 outfit from The Caretaker.

I've already 'cosplayed' (AKA done an outfit!) the other Clara outfit in this episode and I decided to do the other outfit today. I've had all the items for a long time now. The shirt (New Look) and skirt (Topshop) are both charity-shopped, the shoes are Clarks and the Collar clips are from Flapper Doodle. Mine aren't the Ladybird likes moons but since the shape is similar, that's close enough for cricket, eh?

Believe it or not, this is an incredibly comfortable outfit.  I can fit about 5 layers under this shirt so I've enjoyed wearing it on colder days and despite the skirt not being my fit and flare usual, it actually fits ok. It is very thick tapestry material

I have a sewing question. I would like to create some new button holes to be able to wear this shirt done up to the top (it needs two more buttons)- can I do this very easily by sewing? How would I do this please?

So, it's over to you.

Maricel is taking a little hiatus from blogging TARDIS Tuesday for a little while, so I am the temporary Caretaker of it (see what I did there?)  for a little while after this week- so please help me keep the dream alive and link your blue, Clara-esque outfits, TARDIS badges and homages to Tom Baker! She'll be back of course  but please go and help encourage her back by going to say Hi here ! ;-)  because I shall miss my illustrious leader and Who fan girl. It is very nice of her to stop me from pining irretrievably, by allowing me to continue it in the meantime.

I hope all is well with you.
