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.

During a good weather break, our crews in central Oregon did some non-snow chores like buttoning: placing reflective markers on the center median on our roads. Reflective buttons help travelers keep centered when bad weather hits.
This button fairy is attached to an ATC with some ribbon and may be detached for hanging. I used the same image which was provided for this week's MAMMA trade.
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.
I came back a few weeks later (today) to get some information for the HDR photo below...
Just playing with a little depth of field here.
I saw some pretty button fairies on flickr and thought I'd have a go at making one, this is my first attempt I trimmed her up a bit after this photo, and have now sent her to a friend as a gift.
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.
I wanted to take a bokeh of buttons but my macro lens is a bit limiting. I have to zoom past the adapter and then I have to have the camera really close to the subject so its hard to get any background.
Any suggestions on how to get bokeh in pictures without my macro lens or do I need a more advanced camera?
I used this pattern from mamachee on Etsy to make these booties.
I think they are mighty cute! Made them for our new nephew Roan.
