Sorting Buttons

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:


Red Glass Buttons
Glass & Leather buttons

 Then onto the shell/mother of pearl buttons.

I was sewing in quite straight lines, very regimented.


Buttons in a row


Buttons in rows

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.
