    Eileen: It used to be possible to find buttons with a metal loop on
    the back which fit through a (bound) hole in the fabric, and had a
    small, springy clip which was pushed onto the loop (under the
    fabric) and which  held it in place. It could easily pulled out and
    the button removed when necessary.  

    ^^^^ The top of the clip looked like this, the bottom was  a
    straight line (can't get my computer to put them both together) 

    I don't know whether anyone makes these anymore, but I imagine a
    similar thing could be made out of a springy wire.  

    I believe I still have a few around, so if you would like a picture
    e-mail me directly.
