But ABC buttons? Cute to the nines.
Craftzine says some nine-hole buttons and, bright thread and a little initial-imagination all you need to create crafty label genius. No expert sewing skills necessary, just the ability to, well, sew a button. Takes less than five minutes total, even for an inexperienced needle and thread gal like me.
I am not suggesting for a second that you sew buttons with initials on every article of your child's clothing, no-sir-e-mama. That type of crazy-making is best reserved for expecting mamas in their nesting stage (I speak from experience...I sewed an entire quilt border the day before my second baby was born.)
ABC Buttons would be cute on those special clothing items that might benefit from a little extra love, like that jacket your son won't wear because it's blue instead of green. Quick fix? Green ABC buttons.

Report AbuseMaterexlibris -- on the contrary. I wish I had time on my hands to do this cute stuff for my kids! Permanent marker in the collar is a myth. It fades rather quickly or soaks clear through the other side of the fabric, which then ruins the piece of clothing.

Report AbuseAdorable! As you will learn from my blog on here (hint, read it, people, puh-leeze!), Crabmommy is a "conceptual crafter" --I like to think about it, but I aint doing it. Still, I always appreciate seeing bits of craftastic sweetness even if there's absolutely no way my child will ever have those buttons.
