Who's Got the Button?

Thank you all so much for your comments on the last post! I wore the dress to pick my dad up from the airport, walk around Omaha's Old Market and go to dinner.



I think matching button and buckle sets (like on this dress!) add a nice touch to home-sewn clothing. I love to browse for unique colors and designs, but I try not to buy them unless I have a project in mind or I'd have so many buttons and not enough days in the year to sew clothing for them!

Here are a couple great ones on Etsy right now:






Do you make self-fabric belts for your projects from vintage patterns? Find it intimidating? Have a stash of buckle cover kits?
