thankyou for showing us how to make these.i am making a dress from a silk saree and needed something like this ( very neat, without any filling and of the same size) to decorate the edges of the dress.
Great video! I remember when I tried to make this kind of buttons some 10 years ago, and I only had a photocopied page from a book with a single illustration to go off of (mine were a far cry from yours!🙈) I’m glad you made a tutorial for this!
Thank you so much! I too remember trying to learn to do them and only finding blog pages that were helpful but harder to decipher. I wished for a video then, that's one of the reasons I wanted to do this video. I hope that those who need it find it helpful! ❤️
This was a great tutorial. You're very descriptive and your technique is very clear. I feel like I'll be able to make strong and beautiful buttons for years to come. Thank you.
FANTASTIC TUTORIAL! thank you sooooo much! i'm currently working on a 13th-ish century mantled hood that i will be adding buttons to and i will be using your video to make those buttons! so excited!!!!
I was researching military buttonholes and came across your button video. Thank you. Great information. I have sewn a military "coatee" from 1803 for a friend reenactor. Learned so much from the process but no details in the pattern for the construction of buttonholes military style. I am afraid to cut in to the lapels as I might be doing it wrong.
I'm making a 17th-century singlet, sleeveless doublet. I can't decide of pewter buttons or making buttons like these. Never tried this before. As these are attached to the edge, how does this work with the buttonholes on the other side?
Great instruction But too often your hands were out of the frame or so close to the top that the annoying You Tube announcement that the video is full screen blocked the view.
Would you stuff the buttons with a piece of raw wool? would it make them firmer? I collect wool off fences and fields from sheep in the UK and even fox fur, rabbit etc. I'm in the UK countryside.
You certainly could if you wanted to, but it's not really necessary for this type of button. 🥰 I'll admit I'm jealous that you have the ability to collect such amazing fibers!
Hi! Thank you very much for nice tutorial! Finally i know how to do that buttons! :D I have just one question - what is the diameter, of the template u used? Thank you! :)
I'm glad you found it! For this project I'm planning to do thread loops. However, if used for a kirtle or cotehardie, I would do a button hole. I will be doing videos on both techniques later this year!
They should be, they've withstood centuries in some cases. I'd just be double sure they are secure. I'm a mom so always on the lookout for choking hazards. ❤️
Where were you when I was struggling to learn how to do this a few months ago?? You did a great job explaining very clearly how to do this.
Thank you so much Margo! I'm glad you found me.
I'm convinced the algorithm enjoys playing hide n seek w creators. :-/

Great video to stumble on when I need to make many smaller buttons. Thank you so much.
Very good clear and practical instructions thank you. ❤

Making a Bocksten Man style cloak. This was very helpful - Thanks
What great, clear instructions. I made some excellent buttons for a hood of my own. Thanks!

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. A button or a bead with nothing but the fabric
I really enjoyed this video... I miss sewing with you.. :( Can't wait for more....
Thank you. I miss sewing with you also. Many, many, costumes were made while sewing on your living room floor. ❤️😍
Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve always wondered how historical fabric buttons were made.
your tutorial is exactly what I need for my 14th century hood project. thx a lot!
Wonderful! Best of luck!
Awesome! another cloth button video. Mine will be reposted in February- The original was 3.5.15 (grin) Love this!! Great job!
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much. Your explanation was so clear i made 8 of these in an hour cause of your advice. Thanks again!!!
This was so so useful and well explained! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you so much 💓 I'm going to try it !!
I'm in love with these buttons
Can you please show whether you make button holes or loops or what to fasten the buttons to the other side? Ty!
OMG, the easiest button I've seen so far. TFS!
This is exactly what I needed, thank you 🙏
I got it on my first try
thanks for this! Just what I need for my future project:)
Wonderful!!
Thankyou, very helpful video.
Can you do this exact method but with square pieces of fabric? I need a million buttons and cutting them square would save a lot of time?

Thankew for shareing .
I would have loved to see the hood on you!
Hi! Thank you very much for nice tutorial! Finally i know how to do that buttons! :D I have just one question - what is the diameter, of the template u used? Thank you! :)
I believe the template is an inch and a quarter?? Possibly an inch and a half. Thank you for your kind comments!
thanks for the lesson ...
My pleasure!
love finally knowing this. Do you use fabric loops or button holes? If fabric, will you have a video on that?

@@KacyBurchfield thread loops. Is that buttonhole stitching over threads? Can't wait!
Yes, pretty much! It reminds me of macrame. If that makes any sense.
very pretty!
Thank you so much!
Very informative
Thank you! Glad you think so!
Thank You
Brilliant! I am just starting hand-making clothing. Would these be sturdy enough for children's clothing?
They should be, they've withstood centuries in some cases. I'd just be double sure they are secure. I'm a mom so always on the lookout for choking hazards. ❤️
