Although the buttons look complicated - believe me, I thought it would be impossible to learn how to make them - but it is actually a straight forward process that can be taken to all kinds of heights once you learn the basics.
I don't want to do the hard sell. I'm not a sales person. I want people to be inspired by what I make rather then talking them into buying new stuff. However I am VERY excited about this. I love making buttons. It was one of those totally unexpected hobbies that I never thought I would take to with such enthusiasm. And the cost is very reasonable - just £17.99 (roughly $23.84 US according to the currency converter on 22nd June 2018). Take a look at Gina's web site to find out more information - and prepare to become obsessed!

I received my copy of Colonial Williamsburg's magazine Trend & Tradition today and the do-it-yourself article featured embellished buttons. They've made it available online here: www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/learn/trend-and-tradition-magazine/button-up It should be interesting to compare their tailor's instructions with the technique which works so well for you. Next time I look at historic clothing I'll be sure to notice the buttons!
