I fell asleep doubled over, and woke to find two perfect button imprints on my knee. I didn't want them to go away, but eventually they did.
Inspired by Stephen Colbert's "Bears & Balls" I created a standalone button that plays a random Colbert sample every time you press the button. The button is a giant arcade button from Adafruit, and the internal hardware is an Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board with amp. That's 90% of the battle right there!
As another hallmark of a true handmade garment the button is attached on a rather large "stick". This is done by having the button attached loosely at a certain distance from the garment.
The loose threads are then wrapped by the thread and firmly attached through the stick.
This gives room between the body of the garment and the button so that it is easier to button up and does not strain the front plackets of the shirt.

I found this button in one of our new buildings and I have no idea what it's for. It's just on a little panel on the wall.
This large Victorian picture button has a lot of detail and hand-riveted details.
I recently inherited a bunch of Victorian and early 20th century buttons, and enjoy researching and photographing them.
If you have an expertise in this matter.. please email me! Thanks! :-)

I like this bobby pin! Aubergine Bakelite button has a groove, and paper bead fits right in there. Art yarn from Australia, with Czech glass bead with silver accents.
this makes better button holes that the new machines can as far as I'm concerned. I'm still learning the adjustments on it.
You just install it on your machine and away it goes. it moves the fabric around so that you don't have to. you just have to remember to lower your dogs do that the bobbin thread doesn't get all tangled up.
