Gina-B Silkworks | Button Autopsy - Victorian's Secret / Examining an antique silk covered button / button geek! @GinaBSilkworks | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
Today's video is the first of an occasional series examining some of the textile, thread, and other buttons in my collection. The Button Autopsy is my way of learning how buttons were made in the past.
This little silk fabric covered button holds a secret that I've never seen before, but was probably in use far more than we think. It just isn't obvious until you take things apart...
If you like the idea of this series, do let me know in the comments and I will keep planning them!

This video shows one method of warping - and beginning to weave - the Gina-B Silkworks Ribbon & Tablet Loom for tablet weaving (aka card weaving). This method will work on any two roller band or ribbon loom, and is good for beginners to help get an even tension.
Topics covered include reading a pattern, threading the tablets, fixing a threading mistake and the basics of turning the tablets forward and backwards.
More videos will be uploaded showing alternative warping methods.
The loom is available as a build-it-yourself kit from our website at
