Button covering reminds me of my childhood when my mum had a haberdashery shop and one of the jobs I would help with was to use the button covering machine. It was sturdy piece of equipment but it was fun to use. Fond memories...

You have done a great job, especially as velvet is hardly the easiest fabric to start with, being quite thick and fraying quite easily. I love how you've used the bits of embossed velvet. That green velvet really is delicious, isn't it! I'm not surprised you're on such a roll with it.<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely encouraging comment and I'm sorry I've been so long moderating and replying to it. As you know it's been a very busy period and over the weekend I've been pretty tired and in need of a good rest to catch up. I stupidly forgot to take a photo of our tea table until it was too late but I took some photos today of the individual plates of what was left over and I'll be blogging about that in due course. You are right - the three of us have a very strong bond, having shared the experience of bowel cancer and major surgery - but also, we just get on so well with each other and laugh at the same things! We have become such good friends and it's a real joy for each one of us.<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />Happy belated WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #50Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-84708207704451424652016-05-05T23:55:42.294+01:002016-05-05T23:55:42.294+01:00I think I am need of this gadget!!!

I've done some covering of buttons with stamped tissue paper in my time, but that's about my lot. Delighted you're enjoying your new toy, and I'm enjoying the results of your playtime, with all the additional detailing once the covering is done.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-1148861110697549852016-05-05T15:15:20.253+01:002016-05-05T15:15:20.253+01:00Like my little sis Annie - I have covered loads of...Like my little sis Annie - I have covered loads of buttons yet not heard of a button coverer!
