Needle Saving Button

I can't remember where I found this idea. Bought a cover button kit out of the clearance bin at Stitched with Love in McKinney, TX. Just took a small circle of thin cotton batting and a larger circle of fabric and followed the directions on the button package. 

The buttons make great needle savers for that one special hand sewing needle you're working with! Just gently slide the needle through the thin layer of fabric on the button and store it there. 

Using a curved basting safety pin, I pinned the button in my handwork bag. This way I can move it if I need to. Just a fun little idea I wanted to share!
