Thread to Match Buttons
Submitted by Susan Y. Gilbert
Nonnie's Notions
Recently I found a use for colored markers for quick sewing fixes. A jacket came back from the cleaners with a blue button sewn on with white thread. Also, my husband popped a button and needed it sewn on quickly. I had white thread in the machine and sewed the button on in less than 30 seconds. In both cases, I used a marker to "dye" the threads to match the button.
