Button Mushrooms and FlowersButtons are big right now – so vintage, so nostalgic and so fun to collect. These fabulous button flowers are easy to make and pretty to look at! They make a great no-sew project. Want something else vintage or retro? Yes, you guessed it – mushrooms are back! We have offered two sizes with lots of fabric suggestions – both are cute and friendly and will work well with cooking and homemaking themes.
