On Saturday I went to G Street Fabrics to look for buttons for my sweater. I had heard that it was a good place to look for buttons, and it exceeded my expectations! The best part of the photo below was not the buttons, but the fabulous ladies working behind the counter! I showed one of them my sweater and told her I wanted to find a button that blended in and didn't take away from the lacework I had done. She led me to the pink/red button section and the first button she picked off the wall was the one I ended up buying! She had such a great eye!! This was great for me because I have a hard time making decisions and it was awesome to have someone help me!
It was hard to get a true-to-color pic with my iphone, but see buttons below. They are a little bit iridescent/two-tone which goes perfectly with the variations in the yarn.
Next up: stitching them on!
Yay, I can't wait to see the finished product! how great to have such an extensive button-store close to you! Did they sell other craft stuff too (yarn, sewing, quilting)?
ReplyDeleteGreat choice, Kelly! Love that rich pink!
