I. Love. Buttons.
I've long been wanting to use some fab little buttons that my blogging friend Shez sent me in a swap in 2012, but because they're so darn cute, I've been choosy.
I didn't have any fabric in the Overload to use with them, so oh how terrible, I decided to go buy some fabric just so I could use the buttons!

I actually made these zipper pouches a few months ago, but as I've been twiddling my thumbs since then (not!), the pouches remained 95% complete, until yesterday... yes I finally stitched the sweet little buttons in place & sewed the lining closed.
Shez I am enjoying these darling buttons all over again now, my friend!
Mrs Hen-rietta & Grandma Violet seem to be pleased with my choice of fabrics!
I'm getting used to not having such ready access to Miss Pfaff, not that I've had a lot of time for it in recent months anyway... it's not as boring as I thought it would be, now spending more time on hand stitching & projects... Perhaps the Gods knew I would need a bit of SLOW in my life at this time... & I'm fine with that.
♥ I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead & that the Sun shines (even just a little) wherever you are ♥

Those buttons are so cute. I love the pouches too and they seem to be multiplying here as well. Have a great week,
I love those pouches! My sewing machine and u have a love/hate relationship and I doubt we would work together long enough to make something as beautiful as these. Great that you finally found the right project for Shez's buttons too. I think we are all guilty sometimes of saving things "for best"!
Very very cute!
Fabulous use of the gorgeous button
those buttons are a great way to spruce up your pouches.

Hello Anthea,
You can never have too many pouches. Lovely and bright and so useful.
Happy days.

These zipper pouches are fabulous! What a fun use for your darling buttons. Making a zipper pouch has been on my list of things to try for ages. Seeing yours is moving that project up my mental To Do List. Beautiful work!
Golly I am way behind the times! Love the project pouches
