Guide Review - A Sewing Notion

Fancy buttons can cost a fortune but make an outfit...changing the buttons also changes the outfit. Button pins are a quick solution to hold a shank button in place or to be able to change out the buttons without sewing them in place.
Keep them handy for a quick repair or to change an outfit from one look to another by changing the buttons.
