Whenever I get an extra button/thread bag, I put it in there. When it starts to overflow, I reexamine. If I can't identify the button, it goes.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Korihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673812133227056577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32178200.post-22001718645530384132007-12-07T17:27:00.000-05:002007-12-07T17:27:00.000-05:00I have started just throwing them away - do you ev...I have started just throwing them away - do you ever really need them? I've rarely used a button and never the extra thread. Usually I want to get rid of whatever it is by the time it would need that type of fixing.<BR/><BR/>And if you do lose a button, you can always take one from the bottom of your shirt and move it up, then replace the lower (usually out-of-sight button)with one that is a close match.<BR/><BR/>My mom always had a button can she saved her extras in - it was a fun thing to go through as a kid. I have a button jar for Alison - but I try to only have big interesting buttons that won't go in the mouth so easily!!<BR/><BR/>Is my comment to long and rambly now????amylouwhosewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739231618762913689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32178200.post-89836039688272716352007-12-07T13:58:00.000-05:002007-12-07T13:58:00.000-05:00JEN THANK GOODNESS YOU UPDATED!
