My new “now in English” Japanese sewing books have started me thinking about more selfish sewing (for myself ). One of my want-to-dos is this coat despite the fact that I will probably not have a chance to wear it much in this weather. This coat is from the other “now in English” book – Stylish Dress Book that I will be reviewing tomorrow. The coat requires two large 3cm decorative buttons.
The buttons on the coat are large that they naturally draw attention to them. So it’s important that I choose something really unique and one-of-a-kind. And boy am I glad my latest sponsor is a handmade button maker. Check these gorgeous handmade buttons from Fulton and Co. They are all handmade, so no two are alike. I think it will be the perfect addition for this coat!
In January of this year, Sarah started FULTON & CO. because she loves things that are practical and useful, and because she could not find the kind of buttons she was looking for, anywhere. Namely, buttons that simple, handmade, with interesting patterns and colors, and in a variety of sizes. Because the majority of American button companies have gone out of business, Sarah is motivated to be a local source of a quality product. Her goal is that FULTON & CO. will be the go-to company for quality, artisan buttons. Buttons that will be kept and collected over the years, used, re-used and passed down through time. The ceramic buttons are created in small batches, each one going through an 8 step process, using a low fire, porcelain-like clay that gets bisque and glaze fired in the kiln before they are finished. FULTON & CO. buttons are strong and durable and will, without a doubt, add a touch of character and charm to anything they adorn!
And guess what? Now 3 of you can get the chance to pick out buttons from her store because she is sponsoring a giveaway specially for JapaneseSewingBooks.com readers! Yes, you heard me right. Not 1, not 2, but 3 winners, who can each choose any product from

I love the little red cottage buttons. I have started sewing the ‘Zakka Style’ pouches and these would look great on one of them!
Oh my, they are all so amazing. I am LOVING the sand dollar buttons. Would make such a sweet addition to a simple linen tunic, or dress. https://www.etsy.com/listing/127911918/6-sand-dollar-buttons-15-handmade?ref=shop_home_active
