BUTTON COVERS

Here is a set of Button Covers showing a Cameo lady. Although they are only a synthetic material they still look quite nice. They were quite a unique item and popular around about the 1980s. As you can see they open up and slide over a plain existing button and snap shut thus altering the appearance of the garment.

FABRIC BUTTON

I embroidered this button in 2019 and it took some time as it is quite large at 5 cm. Pink is not one of my favourite colours but it contrasts nicely with the various greens. I doubt if I could see to do it now. The embroidery is not the best but it has a homemade look about it.

FABRIC BUTTONS

Here is a group of old fabric covered buttons. It is interesting to look at the various fabrics and compare them with the brightly coloured fabrics of today. The second picture shows some of the different backs of fabric buttons. You can still buy button making kits and they are different again. Nothing stays the same!

ENAMEL BUTTON

I do not remember where I got this enamelled white metal button from. I just wanted to have it because of the map of Australia. It has a backmark which I cannot read. The enamel is a bright blue leaving the metal map. It is not very big at a little over 1 1/2 cm.
