I was asked if I would not mind tatting around a button as someone had a mark, or it could have been a hole on her fairly new t.shirt and she wanted to hide it. So I made three as I wasn't sure how big the hole was and of course there are many shades of white. No pattern just randomly tatted around a few buttons and as no beads were required they were done in no time.
Last weekend I was given a large container of buttons, sadly they had been abandoned in a shed for many years and needed a good wash and brush up! I had to throw quite a few away as they were beyond rescuing, these were the best.
There were some vintage mother of pearl buttons which glistened in the sun light, something they had not seen for years.
This is the button that was chosen for the t. shirt - a perfect match

I'm wondering if you shouldn't be named the 'button lady'!!!!
ReplyDeleteA white tatted little star with a buttun that twinkels in the sun. Yes, that is heaven.
ReplyDeleteVery nice designs on those buttons!! :)
ReplyDeleteButtons are fascinating, little treasures linking generations, if you're lucky enough to have Granny's Button Box still - I don't think in years to come, people will be collecting worn-out Velcro.
ReplyDeleteI like the colours in this latest photo.
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteOld buttons sure got pretty after you added tatting to it. Lovely touch to the t-shirt too.
Good way to hide a mark! I'm glad you could rescue the buttons, it's a shame for them to be hidden away in a shed.
ReplyDeleteWell done, it's pretty on the T-shirt!
ReplyDeleteI love tatting around buttons and this is a good purpose for them love the post and pictures and tatting!
