A simple guide to sewing buttons and buttonholes! Unfold the whole thing to play i-spy with a dazzling collection of my grandmother’s buttons. Designed in Chicago and printed locally at Spudnik Press. This zine is inspired by one of my favorite poems, The Coin by Sara Teasdale, and dedicated to my grandmother, Liz Leith.
The Coin
by Sara Teasdale
Into my heart’s treasury
I slipped a coin
That time cannot take
Nor a thief purloin,
Oh better than the minting
Of a gold-crowned king
Is the safe-kept memory
Of a lovely thing.
