Trading Buttons

Have you looked in JoAnn's Fabrics?
They sell La Mode and La Petite. Here is the main company that sells to JoAnn's Fabrics.

I have successfully switched out buttons from their selection.

Try eBay. There are a lot of button sellers--good prices, too.

Hi Jazz..I have checked out M & J Trimming which Louis recommended a while ago, and basically Google searched. for buttons. Nothing really stands out. I think you are on Long Island too...any places you may know? I thought about Michael's, but I don't think they have too much. Will check your suggestion. Thanks. Ellen

thanks for sharing link

Thanks...trying etsy as well. I originally thought the button size was 12mm, which is really difficult to find. Louis said they are 15mm which is probably a bit easier to locate. Onward!

I think the site I listed buttonlovers.com has the buttons listed in mm. I usually bring the button I want switched out and see what works. One time I did bring the sand crepe jacket because I no longer wanted the pearl buttons (less opportunities to wear with fancy buttons). I did find a nice substitute at JoAnn's Fabrics.

I would like to suggest that you try Britex in San Francisco. They have an amazing selection of buttons. Their website is britexfabrics.com.

Hi elleni's,

I would love to trade buttons with you! I could send the silver buttons from my Hunter Green boyfriend sweater if your still interested. LMK
