The design is by JBW Designs, called Cute as a Button for Girls. I substituted DMC for all of the overdyed flosses called for, except for the GAST Evergreen in the border. That’s the only one I had, as I don’t have a lot of overdyeds. I also substituted buttons that I bought at WalMart which happened to be a reasonable match in color. They are a lot bigger than the button pack that I used when I stitched the model (which you can see here<\/a>, if you’re curious), but the ones in the button pack didn’t match color-wise and I didn’t have enough time to go from store to store to find the best substitutes.<\/p>\n Now, I just have to find some time and the courage to try finishing it as a flanged pillow!
