As you all know (least those who follow my blog or visit my website) I do suffer from a mild obsession with buttons!!! My tatting cupboard overflows with them (well, not quite but I do have rather a lot) and my favourite are the tiny shirt buttons which I make into earrings or bracelets.
So the silk shirt has (or rather, had) 12 buttons on it which included those on the cuffs too. Now what to do with them! Add them to the stash or use them instead. I decided I'd use them and on the shirt too. As they came off it they should then go back on!!! There's logic in there somewhere but please don't ask me where!!!
Now I don't 'do' plain very often but I did want something very simple so that they don't deteriorate from the gorgeousness (wow, that's a real word!!) of the silk.
Here's what I've come up with. You'll see that I've used a slightly creamy thread in order to contrast with the whiteness of the silk. BUT now what do I do with them? Or rather, where do I put them?!?!?! All will be revealed!
