Large plastic buttons can be "blah" if they are very shiny (can't see yours in the picture) and often do not want to match anything because they reflect whatever color is nearby. If I buy them, I do a very light sanding with very fine grit sandpaper. Really improves their character. The surprise zipper was given to you by the Sewing Fairy who rewards us for great work. Remember all those goodies you have found in your fabric stash and cannot remember buying? I like her -- and she pays much better than the Tooth Fairy. Hope you enjoyed the 4th.Annushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706167121825931925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-47141785907463459592017-07-06T12:29:32.948-04:002017-07-06T12:29:32.948-04:00Fun fun fun outfit.
