BUTTONS

While some see the button as something that is simple and inconspicuous if you are sewing a special garment and need that wow factor a special button may just be the answer.

We have over 6000 buttons on display, I’m sure there will be one for you. Lost a button from your item of clothing, it can be frustrating to find one to match. You now have an easy option – text a photo of what you are looking for and we will attempt to find a match.

Come and see us, we can help you choose an alternative.

Yes, you can buy just one button, all our buttons are in tubes. Embellishments for that special project, quilt or just because.
