    Thank you for posting this! I adore these tiny mundane details - my great-grandmothers probably did very similar work as part of their village's cottage industries. And I love knowing how to make something from as little as possible.

    Lovely little buttons, I'd never thought about making a button in this way! Thanks.

    Totally charming. Thank you for this lovely technique. Can you please be more specific about the thread you are using for the buttons and buttonholes? I have some called "buttonhole twist," but it is not as thick as yours. Is this a fine crochet thread?

      @@ivorybow hi, the thread for buttons is a 16 weight hand sewing thread. The thread for the button holes is the same thread for the shirt construction, a 50/3. I get most of my thread and fabric from Burnley and Trowbridge. Just google it. Thank you!
