Hi.
Didn't see a thread for Buttons, while looking to find a good place to post this Modification I've done on my Bronson C-2 sweater tonight.
Now my cigars won't fall out of my pocket every time I bend over to tie my boots.
This button itself was a good find!!! Lucky!! It's from a massive assortment of vintage buttons here. Some look to be modern, others as old as the wild west...It's a button collection that's been passed down in the generations. Hundreds of buttons, just sorting through them to find some that look like they might be military ones.
I've found a small handful of military buttons, if anyone here is good at ID'ing old Military buttons?
The only one I could find that looks like it's from an original US garment to match. (I'm almost certain it's from something original US WWII)
Should have probably used some kind of backing while sewing this sweater with a Zigzag stitch, running low on thread and chalk...This will do well enough for me at least.
Anyway, Details...I feel good about this thread (no pun intended)
If anyone is looking for a how-to, it's generally straightforward. I Just watched some different 'youtube' vids before attempting sewing a buttonhole.
