Pearl buttons cardi makeover

So, despite now having a sewing room (a.k.a guest room) again, getting in front of the sewing machine seems... hard. I actually got as far as to choosing a nice classic skirt pattern and taking out a really cool fabric... but then I ran out of energy. Maybe tomorrow...

A couple of hours later and very frustrated I decided to do something very easy but rewarding, I changed buttons in a favorite cardigan! It only had three of five buttons left, and they were the cheap and boring kind... Solution? Vintage pearl buttons!

Sewing time!

The finished result, modeled by a headless me in gray sweats, very fashionable!

  1. Very pretty buttons! I know what you talk about, sometimes it happens to me, I want to do (sew) something but then I say " na, better tomorrow" hehe

  2. I know how you feel. I have a much easier time knitting and embroidering during the winter. It's hard work to get me in front of a sewing machine. I have a 2-hour class once a week and that's about the only time I do any sewing!
