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.
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!

@@lindahamilton800 thank you, me too!
Lovely little buttons, I'd never thought about making a button in this way! Thanks.
