I just finished sewing buttonholes onto the french cuffs of my Pitite Plus Shapely blouse. Now I need to figure out how to come up with some kind of cuff link.
Any ideas?

Attach 2 shank buttons together and push one through the buttonholes on your cuff ..... you will have matching buttons on each side of your cuff.

You can use regular buttons, too. You'll need to make a thread shank of the right thickness. Remember the buttons don't have to match, and you can use one that's bigger than the button holes, if you want.
