Cutwork button---this is my second attempt because on the first one I had too much lace and it looked like a sunflower.
The base fabric is cream duchess satin and the lace is cream as well.
The centre section is a piece of cream silk organza that had cutwork on it and I layered it on top of a piece of pale pink cotton Voile.
I had much difficulty attaching the lace--my fingers are too short and stubby to handle fiddly bits.
Taken on 5 April 2014, taken using Minolta 110 Zoom SLR Mark II. This particular walk button is located near the Royal Hotel in Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria, Australia.
This button placement certainly seems odd to me (I don't think I'll EVER button it) but I do love the button that I chose and the little loop is pretty cute. It can just always stay open. No problem.
Really, I have a few other bones to pick with the pattern too, from the too-short length to the fact that the placket is supposed to be made REALLY long and then sewn partway shut (??) to the unfinished seams on the inside (I made some of them into French seams to at least cut down on the raw edges a little bit).
And please don't pay attention to the poor quality of my bias-tape-sewing there. That part was done about 4 years ago, when I'd really not done much sewing at all.
I made this tote bag using some durable 100% cotton drill fabric. I have painstakingly sewn each vintage button on with my own two hands :o)
This bag is available in my mintd.com store. For more information, please see my profile.

Because I never tire of taking pictures of my button shelf and because I reorganized it a bit.
I've got an antique mirror hanging on the wall beside it just because.
The shelf was build by my great grandfather. Repainted by me, Summer 2010.
