All finished, stayed up till 4am to complete and drove it over to Lancashire Uni for the Norther Potter's show this morning.
before and after...see what a difference 600 buttons can make!!!
All the buttons sewn on to the piece of leather for teh inside front door.
The front door of my boot factory, it will have a leather hinge. I made the door pull from an old bead and bits of another handle and leather.
buttons, buttons, buttons
All ready to start sewing on the victorian boot buttons, 1006 of them in black, brown and white, like the colouring of the outside of the factory but the image will be in the inside.
paper patterns for working out where to place- and how many buttons I needed.
