In recent weeks, I haven't been doing an awful look of knitting (although I'm getting into the pink lacy scarf!). However, I have been doing odd bits of craftiness, such as this. I bought a linen jacket from Primark (or Primarni as my sister calls it!) and the buttons promtly fell off. Well, what did I expect for £12. So anyway, I made some replacements with fabric left over from a custom shop order. I just love it!! Great customisation for only half an hours' work!

You star! You've turned that jacket into something rather special. I've stopped buying bargain fashion. I can't stand the disappointment of the inevitable button suicide anymore.
Love the buttons! Someone had good taste in choosing the fabric. :-) One of these days I'll learn to sew and maybe be as crafty as you!
Yes, you've turned a purchased garment into something special! Very nice touch! (And, good work on the custom order, too!)

Cheers to you for making do, and getting a better jacket in the process!
I just can't buy stuff from Primark. I just can't. They always look cheap on me.
Nice! I love changing out buttons!!
It's amazing how much flair something as simple as new buttons can add. Perfect choice. You really have an eye for putting things together.
Sharp!
