You made a book? This looks a bit familiar.

now what are thread buttons? as opposed to bone or wood or plastic or whatever?
Kinda makes me want to make a tutorial...

Good point. I should do that too. They are basically a ring of waxed thread (made by wrapping it around something like a pencil) and then covered in buttonhole stitch with a shank attached.

I have to make one (haven't for a while) and then I'll do the tutorial.

Thread buttons are also called Dorset buttons. Here's a bit of history [link]
This is how to make them [link]

Yes, this does look similar to the shirt I made. The neckline is different and it seems a little simpler. Maybe I will give this one a shot.
