Older sewing

In October I made a curtain for the master bathroom. I have been wanting to decorate with some denim and buttons for ages, so I just did it. It took very little time but looks so cute.

I really wanted the buttons to be random. I dumped a big handful of buttons from my button jar and sorted out the ones with shanks. Then, without looking I picked some up and placed them along the bottom edge. When I was satisfied, I quit. That simple. Here is the boring, time-consuming part. I had to pick up each button and rub a bit of glue stick on it and put it back. Then all that was left to do was sew each button in place. I tried hand sewing. HaHaHaHa!! That was not going to happen. Waaaaaay too many buttons. The machine made quick work of it. Here is a close-up of the buttons along the bottom edge.
