Button wraps: alternative to button holes (re post)

« Shrieking, freaking web sites! | Main | Why buy anything new .... »

Sometimes the shape or size of the button,  or the fabric of the item to which it is to be attached,  or the work involved in making a buttonhole, or wanting a flexibility in the width of the closure makes a buttonhole alternative a good idea.

This is one alternative.

A button on one side of the garment;  a button on the other side of the garment;  a length of cord attached underneath the first button;  a  button on the other end of the cord;  the cord wrapped around the second button as many times as wished to widen or narrow the gap.

Holding a vest closed.

This is the removable button from yesterday's post ....

and how it looked when it wandered over to the vest.

The possibilities are endless -  as to what could be used for buttons and cord, as to where such as on garments or bags or furniture ......
