looking for fabric to make covered buttons

just wondering if anyone has found a good supplier of fabric with small prints to use for covered buttons? I

have had a quick look around but would like to find 1 person or company that can supply me with all different

types of prints?

Have a look at The Haby Goddess, she has a couple of fabrics with small (1 cm-5 cm) prints on them.

Oz material girls.

I have ordered fabric ( was an avid sewer before the bows took over my life) from all of these places and had a great transaction.

I can add links tomorrow, just printing off an order and need to get back to it xx

thanks ladies,

I will go and check them out, I went to spotlight today and there was hardly anything that I liked, I only

picked up 4 different prints from there

I know this reply is a little late, but I get the majority of my fabric from etsy sellers. The good thing with fabric is the postage is fairly low!

Hey Tennille,

thanks for that, I have had a look on etsy and found some very cute ones. Tell me do you find that it is better to use a thick material as some of the thin fabric I had already in the cupboard doesnt seam to make the back sit snug (I hope you get what I mean)

Trace

Tracey, with the thin materials I use interfacing as well with the material. It makes it a little thicker so it does sit snug and avoids the shine of the button being seen through the material.

I pretty much use interfacing with all my buttons, except when I use really thick material.

Tracey i got mine off ebay and its only a few dollars for 50

Hey Tenille,

I actually just tried some 1.5 grosgrain and that works great! I must be crazy for trying something new LOL!

Do you have a machine? I just bought one a couple of weeks ago now and love it, they are so easy to make with

it. I have so many ideas but just not enough time to make them all.

Trace

What machine did you get Tracey?

I just got a heap of different sized buttons to try out. Picked up some nice ladybug fabric when I was a t Spotty's the other week.

Cheers Rubes

BTW I love the Christmas smily's.
