Repairing the button on my husband's fancy pants. Found a nice metal button in my button jar to respect the natural materials requirement. (Original button was lost)

My dog decided to eat a button off of this pillow that I made.

Here's the back of the button. It got a little caught in some of the fluff from the pillow.

I added a picture of the back of the button, but it is all caught up in fluff from the pillow. Will that work? If not, could I use the buttons from this dress that I already submitted for another BB (make a button-up shirt) and just be sure to include all the required pictures here?

Got a button sewn on my son’s Halloween costume! Yeah, I waited till the last minute to make it…
But it’s one step closer to being done.

For this BB, Sew a Button, I elected my partner's most recent hand-me-down. It is a thick and very sturdy old flannel and will last a lifetime if we give it the TLC it deserves.

I chose a button from my newly procured button jar (which, by the way, filled up fast when I started paying attention to random buttons lying around. Go figure.) Bada bing bada boom, new button! I also filmed a video demonstrating how to quickly tie a knot on the loose end of a thread, but it seems I can't upload it. That's okay. I'll keep my secrets.
