Button 38: Schwalm Shirt Button

 Two of my supervisors.

Watching me with needle and fiber in hand.    Today, created some Schwalm Shirt Buttons. 

The four white - round - buttons:

First was making the round balls.   I used 3.5cm round circle of cotton fabric,

running stitch, with Londonderry Linen (Ivory) thread 50/3.    Added some fiber fill.

Closed them tightly -- ready to embellish w/buttonhole stitches & add the shank.

Three were pretty close in size -- one was smaller.

The smaller one:  I used DMC coton perle 12, col Blanc.

The other three, I used DMC coton perle 8, col Blanc.

Thanks to Beth - for the linen thread (spool)!!

I am grateful for our friendship.

 My supervisors want to be fed ...
