Last Sunday (Superbowl Sunday), I spent the evening with my EtsyRain friends at Happy Delusions in Renton. Those who had button making "machines" brought them so that the rest of us could take advantage of their generosity and make buttons. It was a kick. In fact, there are several of us that are aching to get our own machines now (you can get them in Georgetown at Button Makers). I made a bunch of 1" buttons (no photos yet) - and six 2 1/4" pocket mirrors (using cashmere scraps). At first we all thougth the chasmere would distort/stretch - but NO - it worked incredibly well. I wish I would've brought more scraps. Anyway, I have 6 mirrors to start off with. Available in my etsy shop.
Recycled CASHMERE scarves & accessories that are handmade in the Seattle, WA. The most eco-friendly fashionable way to be hip & warm! Great environmentally conscious bohemian luxury. Oh, and some ramblings about goats, vintage sewing machines, craft & sewing gadget reviews, etsy friends, and eating gluten-free.

Wow, I can see why people share button machines. That is a really cool idea to use cashmere for buttons and mirrors.

Those Mirrors are adorable!
