I should do same with my furry coat.

You did a great job and gave a new lease of life to a beloved piece, well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184486 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 04:25:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 2184486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun top. I also like that Greg is vocal about his opinions. I hate sewing but I can do a button or 2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184479 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 03:43:36 +0000 Echo 2184479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It never would have occurred to me to put blue buttons on a black shirt, but I love the look! What a great way to modernize something and to keep it in rotation. I am terrible, even about getting around to securing a button on a coat. It isn't a difficult job, just tedious enough that I procrastinate... so I really respect that you had the perseverance to get it done, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184468 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 02:57:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2184468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great!</p> <p>I don’t mind sewing. Easy in front of TV mending jobs anyway. I’m not so keen on full on dressmaking from scratch. I don’t have enough patience, so I rush and make mistakes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184463 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 02:51:03 +0000 Suz 2184463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I had to smile at the sewing comment. I don't like sewing either. Cooking is fun! Painting is fun! Sewing? Ugh. BUT I fully agree that it is satisfying to complete a job like this and save an important piece. Brava!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184455 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 02:11:31 +0000 Angie 2184455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>Carla, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184447 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 01:34:45 +0000 Jaime 2184447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!

I like blue with bits of black and white too. Hence my navy pullover!

It was tedious - and I have some spares.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184431 Sun, 04 Apr 2021 23:12:01 +0000 DonnaF 2184431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Nothing like completely replacing buttons to remind oneself how very many there are on a blouse or shirt. Hope you have an extra one or two in case a button falls off and goes missing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-buttons-to-blue#post-2184429 Sun, 04 Apr 2021 22:48:03 +0000 Angie 2184429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, sentimental, and very old silk polka dot and striped blouse had buttons that were disintegrating. See #1</p> <p>Replaced the black buttons with dark blue - just for fun. Better match with the blues in my wardrobe since I don't wear solid black anymore. And feels a little more playful. It looks better in person. Greg impressed!&nbsp;</p> <p>As I did this, I am reminded that I do NOT LIKE SEWING. I'd much rather have cooked or painted something. But I followed through and got it done. Saved an old piece. That IS satisfying...... and I much prefer the blue buttons ;)</p> </p>
