Closures are important components of any garment, but are often an afterthought when it comes to getting creative with your handmade wearables. Whether you use the buttonhole function on your sewing machine or the Ultra Pro II Seam Ripper & Buttonhole Cutter, there’s a wide world of button options to explore. Buttons are an inexpensive way to dress up your sewing projects or update old clothes. Havel’s Sewing has collected some fun button designs for your inspiration.

One of our favorite flea market finds here at Havel’s Sewing is a mason jar full of vintage buttons that we can mix and match on our sewing projects. If you can’t make it to the flea market, check out the vintage button selection on Etsy.
