I picked up the freebies of the buttons that cute had for their birthday & also the ones you have in "Designs by Cuties". I am making some new cushion cases for my daughter (the one that's pregnant), she wanted to put buttons in 3 spots across the flat to botton the flap part down. My thought.... being careful of buttons around & bubs being around soon (NOT a good match), I offered to embroider fake buttons & then put press studs underneath to fasten the flap down. This could be done with a lot of things that you want to look like the item is decorated with buttons & still have safety in the home.

What a fabulous idea Reggie. I think it will also hold better. I would like to use velcro too. Hugs and God bless.

good thinking!

Thanks for that ideas...I just saw some cloth sandwich bag on Sewing for Sarah....they had a large button I think i'll try it withoutthe button

Nice idea. I'm curious to know if you will be using the one I digitized.

they were in a set of 5 different colours, I deleted all but 2 so it would fit in my hoop & spaced them apart. They had 4 holes in the buttons I think with red, blue, yellow????? from D by C. if they are the ones.....

Thankyou Jacqui,
Yes, she is due in 11 1/2 weeks & counting down...lol. she is being tested for diabetes next week... her blood sugars were a bit high... hopefully it will just be diet for her. I have been a diabetic for 6yrs now & am still diet controlled. I'm hoping this is only while she is pregnant.

I will pray that it is only while she is pregnant. I am insuline dependant, and I hate it. Good for you in keeping it diet controlled, you do not want to go the insuline way. Hugs and God bless.

Brilliant idea, so glad you posted this for us newbies if it has already been around. Blessings!

Dear Reggie,
What a wonderful idea, to use 'velcro' or similar product instead of using real buttons when a baby is in the household and to embroider the fake buttons on top.
*4u!
