I have 3 pairs of pants for hubby cut out (nothing fancy, just plain ol' cowboy pants), and I just finished cutting out TV's Polonaise and the 201 Underskirt. It's a mauve on mauve cotton paisley print that I'm accenting with a dk cream moire', ivory venice lace, and mauve czech glass buttons. I am hoping that I'll have enough material left over to be able to make her a matching drawstring purse. Wish me luck, girls!

Cool! Thanks for the idea for buttons LL!! I've been trying to decide what kind of buttons to use on my next bodice that I bought the fabric for today. Czech glass buttons....Ebay?

Are those button photos pretty true to color or is it a gamble...get what you get and try to find a way to use them?

Nellie, my dear------they are EXACTLY what you get! The colors in the pictures are perfect. And his stuff is high quality, and he ships fast to. He mails everything out on Tuesdays, whether you have paid him or not. He is a great e-bay seller!

Yes, the buttons are machine washable..............the question should be is the fabric that you're gonna use them on? LOL!!!
