Buttons

[Leigh]

Do you keep the buttons that come with clothes? I have just been cleaning out my desk and I had so many of those little packets of 1 button, I have no idea what half of them were for so tossed them all.
I have never really needed the spare, wouldn't know how to sew it on anyway

[Beverley]

Yes I do too Leigh.
When I moved to Brisbane I found a million and gave them to my sister. She's a sewer.
I've never had to use one either. I find the hems sometimes come down, but the buttons stay on.
I can sew though.

Just noticed- you are pissed off. Any reason in particular?

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

LOL Leigh, I sometimes keep them but I generally forget where I put them and I find them if I move or have a big clean out so I just throw them out :Hehe:

[Di Nana]

yes I keep them to, also have a button tin when I through out clothes I cut the buttons off, I'm damed if I know why as I can't sew either not even a button back on

I would love to have all the old buttons if you don't want them, I'll be needing them for the pillows I am making the girls for christmas(shh they don't know)

Ok I will have a look and see what I can find for you YOYO..sometimes in Op shops I have seen big jars of them for sale...

[afw]

Thankyou Patricia very kind of you. Yes I have seen them too but I think they ask just a wee bit to much for them, I'm not begrudging that it goes to charity.

[Patricia]

Oh right..I have never asked how much they are..just seen them there and often wondered what people would buy them for..now you have answered my question

[Supa]

I often buy the big bottles of buttons from the op shop as I use heaps in my sewing I keep all the spare buttons from new clothes & if something is going in the rag bag I cut off the buttons & zips
