Button Wednesday : Button Skirts

It is Wednesday again, so it's BUTTON DAY on my blog !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This Button Wednesday is inspired by the last one which was about fashion designer Patrick Kelly. We are going to have a look at button skirts ! The first one is a skirt adorned with rows of buttons and is on display in the JHB International button collection in Denver. (pictures by meanfish2 on flickr)

The next skirt is very Patrick kelly-like; I love those big colorful buttons ! (picture by jmdinobilewd on flickr)

And macgirl_k made a great button skirt out of an old pair of jeans.


Amidalia made this lovely swirly skirt:


Spicyapplebum made this very sweet button flower skirt; she saw it in a magazine made with sequins, but she went for buttons !


More button flower skirts by PinkLizzy Sews and bliss24, respectively:



And tiboutoo shows us a skirt with buttons from WWII; so nothing new under the sun !



Have you seen a lovely, beautiful, stunning, crazy button or button-related thingy, or did you make something with a button / buttons, or did you even make buttons yourself, blog about it on your blog on Wednesday, and give the link here in the comments so that everybody can enjoy it !!

Tidbits : Skirt, Balance and Swap

OK, this was again not my best week.... After the flu from last week I got terrible balance problems. In the hospital they found out that I have Morbus Ménière and Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Got some medicines and I have to perform some special head maneuvers during the day. Very sad about all this, and I have not registered any improvement yet.
Last Sunday I managed to finish the skirt for my friend Anne, just before the balance problems started. Hubby took some lovely pics of her yesterday.


And the end of this week was a bit happier too because of the secret winter swap from the European Street Team on Etsy. I received it yesterday and was so happy with it. The nauli sisters were my swap partners, and they sent me a lovely book and some gorgeous buttons. Thanks Eva-Dewi and Johanna ! I decided I am going to use the book as a portfolio for my button art, when my balance is right again.....

Tidbits : New Skirt !

It was fantastic to meet Bai again on the fair in Amsterdam last Sunday; she is such a sweet girl and it was like meeting a friend again. She sold very well at the fair, especially her gorgeous skirts. I was dying to get one too, seeing all those lovely
slim people fitting in her skirts. Then she promized me to make one in XL for me and I received it yesterday. I am so happy with it; it fits perfectly ! Have a look at all her other lovely creations in her ThongbaiTatong shop on Etsy.
