I am having a stall at a fair on Sunday, it is at Portsmouth's Guildhall so pop along if you can. We will be selling my handmade things but also some vintage supplies.
With that in mind I was sorting through my buttons. The ones I wanted to sew on cards I sorted in to my useful wooden box.

Ready to go..
I started with these lovely red glass ones:

| Glass & Leather buttons |
Then onto the shell/mother of pearl buttons.

| Shell / Mother of pearl Buttons |
I was sewing in quite straight lines, very regimented.

I did this for a while and then got a bit bored of regiment, and decided to go for something else - freestyle.
Then after that, I went back to regiment.
So that was one evening's work.
Now to do the rest.

That would have been me amused for hours- love buttons :)
OO all those lovely buttons:) Hope it goes well x
freestyle looks fab - I feel a bit guilty, I was one of those encouraging you to sew them on luggage tabs!
Lovely buttons!
Thank you all.
Nifty - don't feel guilty. It was a good recommendation. The luggage tabs are a lot easier than cutting A4 pieces of card into the same size.
