A Button Jig?

Button Jig 001 (400x300)

Sometimes, it just takes a bit of thought provoking time to get to the results that are wanted.

Seriously, who does this?  Me!  I have a bit of a problem lining things up and you know dang well, it is those types of things that draw the eye immediately.  Immediately.  As I have 56 buttons to apply to a project that I have hundreds of hours into, I do not want to mess up.  Thank goodness I can visit Button Tree 001 (300x400)my “button tree” for just the right size and color.  The button jig may have to be replicated as I used craft paper.  A lightweight cardboard would have been a better choice.  Of all the things in my sewing studio, that is one item I am a bit short of.

I did do some spraying of Roundup this morning for weeds that poke through the concrete driveway . . . it’s just not acceptable.  The entire while I was mixing my brew and spraying, I was running this button project through my brain. Could I possibly be a bit of a fanatic?  Absolutely.  The spraying was the ultimate that I planned on doing outside today with the humidity and heat making it someplace I need not be.  After doing a bit to tidy up in the house, I know I have a plan that can be executed in the sewing room with acceptable results.  Dang, it’s a good day.
