Great Idea for a Nursing Shawl or Scarf
Make a triangle shawl in a smaller size, or even a wider scarf with a big button to be used as a "nursing" shawl or scarf.

Susan, buttons especially BIG buttons are so expensive! A few years ago, I bought a ton of them on eBay. I've got them all stored in an old cookie tin. Some are brand new and others are very old. I have all kinds of buttons. I'm always looking for ways to use them up.

Did you see this site? I know it is in Italian but if you keep scrolling down, you will find the English instructions.

You're welcome. The pic was sent to me and I managed to find the instructions in English, LOL. I have tons of buttons also, some were given to me, some I pull off old clothing (not good enough to donate) before disposing of them, some I buy. It's amazing what you can do with buttons. Have fun.

I need a big wooden button right now and they ARE expensive, too much so for the little things, everyone is doing crafting now so stores take advantage of that. I am glad to see the younger people joining in on hand crafting again tho, I saw a huge slump in all kinds of it in the 90's myself, you could hardly find any supplies to make anything, and when you did it was outrageously priced. I'm a 'lifer' on many kinds of hand crafting, lol!
