Results of the button venture

[chandri]

Went to the Gastown button shop (which is more or less the cutest button shop ever) and acquired buttons for the sundress I started a week or so ago from a discarded unfinished skirt and the bits left over. I have been calling it the Random Sundress in my head, since I more or less pinned the skirt to Mum's dressform and then sort of pinned bits

Ooooo I love your whim fabric so much!! Learning to sew is one of my goals for this year--but I am a little afraid of the sewing machine still. :D

It's okay! The sewing machine is on your side. It wants to help you make pretty things. That's its job. :)

a) BUTTON NECKLACE. You can make one for me. :D!

b) Burda patterns are awesome. Just like your whim fabric. Which I know nothing about because I do not have 4+ filing boxes of stash, nope.

I also desperately need to go to this button store. No, really, my yellow raincoat needs new buttons.

I LOVE THE BUTTON STORE. There are dozens of buttons I always nearly buy but don't have anything on which to sew them.

My friend went through a period of making button bracelets - with buttons and gimp. they were pretty cool!

If you people keep encouraging me I'm really going to end up with that free bag of buttons.
