Sorry to state the obvious, but why not just replace the buttons with some of the correct size?
Perhaps those were some buttons that were chosen specifically for the project. Or, perhaps the buttonholes had enlarged just a bit with wear (sorry, didn’t read the blog)… I just had to fix some buttonholes on my big winter jacket. The buttons holding my hood onto the jacket had been slipping through and my hood was about to fall off. So, I fixed those buttonholes because:
I don’t have any buttons that fit,
I don’t drive,
it takes 3 buses and a train to get to the nearest fabric shop,
the trip takes over an hour one way at peak running times,
the store is only 5 miles from the house so it’s silly to waste all that time running back and forth, Walmart sucks in their notions department (and I avoid Walmart like the plague),
and it’s night time here now– and cold
— so it was easier to just fix the buttonholes
