Button, button, who has got the button? Is there a seamstress among us who hasn't got a tin or jar full of random buttons, ready to be used for any purpose? I surely do have plenty of buttons, so I was ready for this challenge! Now, the question is what shall I make that includes a button?
I chose to make a coffee cozy for work. We often go down to the coffee shop at the end of the block by the quilt shop and every time I say that I should make a nice cozy, but do I ever remember at home? No.
I have a little decorative jar of green and white buttons, so I checked that one out first and found the perfect buttons for my project. The ones I chose have a curved bottom with a bit of a shank built in, perfect for my elastic to sit under yet not be too bulky!
The next step is to sew the buttons onto the front of the cozy. I measured where I wanted the buttons to be first so it would fit well.
And voila, a finished cup cozy! I'll pop this in my purse to have next time I visit the coffee shop and be able to hold my cup more comfortably!
