    My name is Kylie, and I have to be honest. I really dislike sewing, but I use old vintage buttons in my crochet projects. I put them on hats, in flowers I make for decoration, and wherever they will look cute. My sister just bought a ton of old buttons, and I am so fascniated by the vintage ones. I always wonder about who wore them before.

    I will post about your buttons to my blog. It may even interest my sister enough to stop by. I'll even follow along if it helps my chances of getting those buttons! Thanks. :)

    There are a lot of fun things one can do with all those buttons! I am new to sewing and have only done a couple small projects, but I am hoping this summer will change that.
    My summer projects include a patchwork duvet cover for my cousin, and a sun dress and the spring ruffle shirt from the sew, mama, sew tutorial. Maybe I can use some of these cool buttons on the duvet cover!
