Description
A small white blossom sits centred on a turquoise ground. Turquoise is the coolest shade of these five blossom buttons, reading summery rather than sweet.
This button measures 13 mm across — sewing patterns usually give that as 1,3 cm — and carries two holes. Plastic is the easiest material to care for in a button: it will not swell, will not split, and takes on neither colour nor odour. Its motif sits in the material rather than on top, so it never flakes away. Sold singly, so you end up with neither too many nor too few. A thread shank pays off while sewing, letting it sit loosely over your buttonhole.
What Plastic Button 13 mm White Blossom Turquoise is suitable for
- Summer blouses, because turquoise reads fresh.
- Children's dresses, because that blossom stays small, calm.
- Pairings with white, because the blossom picks up that tone.
Frequently asked questions
What is a thread shank for?
It creates room between button and fabric, so the buttonhole side finds space underneath. Lay a matchstick under your button while sewing, then wind that gap with thread at the end.
Which thread colour should I use?
A tone taken from the motif itself reads most discreet. To emphasise your button, use a contrast thread with visible cross stitches — on children's clothes that looks deliberate.
Can I attach it by machine?
With a button foot and feed dogs lowered, yes. Set stitch width to your hole spacing and turn the handwheel slowly first, so your needle hits both holes safely.
Can it tear out under strain?
Usually it is not your button that gives way but the fabric beneath. On thin cloth, add a small patch or a second button behind, so strain spreads while your edge stays intact.
