Buttons!!!!

I have finally finished sorting all my buttons so I can better utilized them.

I got to thinking that when I need buttons in a sewing project, I selected them by color first than size. So I have sorted them all by color. The idea to sort them came to me when I was looking at a bunch of Crystal Light contains that I could not throw away because they had to be useful for something.

The picture below is my new button shelf in my disaster area of a studio. I took the picture on my cell phone so the quaility is not the best!!!

Sewing!!!

Today was the first time in over a year that I sewed something for me!!!!

I have had this idea over the last 3 or 4 months that I wanted a bomber style jacket for this winter. So over the past 3 days I have worked on making the fabric. Yes I said making the fabric.

The jacket is going to made out of fabric that I create with a technique I came up with to use thread that I will not sew with!! I have a bit more work to finish on the fabric. When the fabric is completed I will post a picture of it before I cut out the jacket.
