Of course, I didn't and this project has been a LONG time in coming, but I have made a start and so far I am pretty pleased with the results.
Apart from the machine foot I had all the fabric I needed already and the most difficult part was deciding which fabrics to use.
I have to admit that it was a bit unnerving at first - but it seems more a "getting the hang of it" kind of thing. Quite liberating after using the sewing machine in the traditional way.
The project is almost finished. It just needs a little finishing off and it will be ready to post next week. See, I am trying to get back on the straight and narrow with posting regularly!
After using one button for the project, I felt perfectly justified in buying a small pot of vintage buttons on one of my charity shop trawls. After all, I was a button down wasn't I?!

I'm sure you will find good use for the buttons ;)
I used to read your blog all the time until something went wrong? I can't believe I've only just found you again after you've been on blogger for so long. I must say you are very lucky with your boot sale/charity shop finds. I don't tend to find many good bargains except for buttons occasionally.
