Our Button Story
Long ago a family hobby, 29 years later our buttons are still full of the same handmade charm.
We make each button and pin to be the PERFECT finish for your project.
July Sizzle & Pop--It's what's hot!
From the JABC Vault--treasures to share!
We are launching something new--limited edition items that we pull from a secret stash. These are our treasures left from past promotions and collections. Sometimes there will be 100 and some times only a dozen. Watch for us to list something new every month on the 10th.
July Sizzle & Pop
To start things off, here's the special edition July Sizzle & Pop. The button collection features a flag, firecracker and bomb pop button amid lots of red, white and blue--over 40 buttons in all. And we'll send it to you in a collectible tin!
This Sizzle Jar pattern is an old favorite and we've adapted it to this button assortment. One pattern is included free with every tin purchased!
What's coming in August?
Here's a hint . . . a popular pincushion kit will be revived thanks to a giant stack of beautiful felted wool. You will BEE delighted!

Patriotic Pincushion--Red, White & Ewe!
Pincushion Flashback with Ewe Look Fabulous!
Our woolly Ewe has been a fabulous dresser for many years--we've got an entire library of Ewe pincushion patterns to show her decked out for every season. Recently though she took on a whole new look with FOLKfloral buttons.
We've mentioned before that when you purchase one of our new FOLKfloral sets, the suggested pattern is included for free. You can stash a set because you just love the combination.
The perfect use may come along before you ever get around to assembling the Star Spangled hoop. That's what happened here. That's right--same buttons!
Got a Ewe Hanging out in your Pincushion Collection?
You may already have a Ewe pincushion, but never fear, the traditional Ewe Look Fabulous for Summer! pattern is still available. We've even updated it to include the pocket pattern. Already have the original pattern for the pincushion? Check below to find a link to simple instructions for adding the pocket and FOLKfloral buttons.
Another Favorite for the Season
Tis' the season for Red, White & Blue so here's a peek at another of our patriotic favorites, Home of the Free. Click the photo to find it on our website. It's part of our NeedlePrint collection--fast and easy to stitch because part of the design is printed on the perforated paper!

FOLKfloral--Embroidery Art with Buttons
FOLKfloral--Embroidery Art with Buttons
Sometimes you just feel the urge to go out on a limb...or a branch...or in this case, a flower stem. That happened to me as I found myself imagining buttons with an odd number of holes--or holes in odd places. Would it be possible then to sew on those buttons in really interesting ways?
