After discussing baby sweaters at work, came home with the suggestion of putting a zipper in this one. Had attempted to do machine buttonholes, that didn't work out. Even with a grosgrain ribbon sewn to the back to stabilize, it still slid around under the presser foot and didn't turn out anything like it should have. You can see a closeup below, the stitching is clear thread, and very dense. If anyone has any ideas *how* to get that out, it would be really appreciated. Status on the blue sweater: sewed first sleeve in, second sleeve 1/4 knitted.

I don't know how to get it out, but I've sewn zippers into kids sweaters and always do it by hand I can never get the sewing machine to work correctly for me on that. The sweater looks great and warm.
thank you! It is soft, he looks very cute in it, also with the pointy hood up. Now I'm thinking maybe the eighteen month size might be in order, in a denim colored yarn...
