Meet the maker

There's something about Small Button Big Heart:

By day, I work as a visual merchandiser for a large home furnishing company, fluffing up pillows and making other peoples things look pretty; by night, I sit in my little sweat shop and sew and sew, to make pretty things for other people! ;)

It all started when I made a few tote bags for a work display, and some colleagues asked me to make some for them too. However, crafting in "World of Warcraft" seemed more interesting at the time and I left my fabric collection and sewing machine sat lonely in the corner of my room, while I spent hours and hours playing computer games with other geeks on tinterweb.

At the end of last year, with a little bit of encouragement from my colleagues and my boyfriend, I started to "sew for real" again!! ;) I thought, buttons on the bags look pretty cool, so I bought some vintage buttons, but not all of them were suitable for my bags. I needed to find another use for them and making button jewellery seemed to be a good idea. However, rather than just finish using the buttons I didn't need for bags my button collection just seemed to grow bigger and bigger over night as I fell in love with making button jewellery too!! A girl can never have too many buttons!

So, thats the story about my passion for bags and buttons! I make tote bags with button decorations and accessories made from buttons too. I hope you enjoy visiting my shop and have a good day! :)
