Ever seen a button tree? Well now you have. This lovely felt button tree has been appliquéd onto an awesome bag made from a vintage pillowcase. The pillowcase fabric features a picturesque dogwood forest in the bloom of spring. The bag has also been embellished with a spattering of hand beading and buttoning. It is lined with a shiny red fabric which contrasts in a bold and beautiful way with the the grass green of the outer fabric.
The bag measures about 10 inches tall and 8 inches across. The shoulder strap / handle is about 22 inches long, making it rest around your waist.

These are cobbled together using the vintage ladies gloves pattern and other ideas I came up with. The wool was recycled and is definitely wool and just a little on this side of itchy. But they do look good.
camera batteries died before I could experiment with this light... and concept more... used build in flash and a piece of looseleaf... also I'm aware of the terrible framing but I still like this falling button... tried holding two in my eyes like monacles but the facial expression was horrific haha. and they fell out... hence the falling button.
I use this camera bag as my purse because bringing along my camera somewhere is more convenient that way. also I broke a camera's lcd screen by hauling it around in the pocket of a purse. :(
anyway, the Neko Case button kept falling off. I used to have a Fox Confessor one too but it fell off and got lost. I finally found another button that I wasn't using and swapped out the backs.
the opposite side of the strap has buttons too. maybe I will show you them another time.

I ran one of the ends through half of every other selvedge stitch all the way around and then drew it in tight. See my knitting blog for more details.
