Start a button jar - PEP BB textile.straw.buttonjar

I feel old! :'D
I have avoided a "jar" by keeping a bin of scrap clothes and a handful of buttons in my sewing drawer, but for this BB I made a button jar!  (And promptly found 3 more buttons to put in after I took the pic.)

I had an old cotton flannel that i outgrew, so I harvested the buttons and fabric from it.

I had a worn out polo shirt and decided it was time to start a button jar.

Here is an old pair of shorts my wife is tired of me wearing. While I think there is still life in them, she said no and keeping her happy is my main goal. So I took the button off and consolidated the loose buttons in my drawer into an empty fish food container and put that in my sew box. The buttons on my pockets have long since been gone and the back pockets were snaps that broke my phone screen so I cut those off about a year ago.

Just removing the buttons from what's left of an old army jacket and adding them to the cache.

Too-small shirt about to be harvested for buttons (and for another BB, fabric)

Not a piece of clothing but I harvested a button from an old beat up duvet cover. I filled the jar with all the buttons I had in my craft supplies and all of the random extra buttons that came with various pieces of clothing.
