Gina-B Silkworks | Dorset Button Advanced Techniques: Two-layer Design & Changing Direction / Little Moon Tutorial @GinaBSilkworks | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This video shows you how to make a button from my book "Celestial Ring Buttons". The designs in this book follow Dorset button techniques, but also include some advanced, non-traditional methods.

The button design "Little Moon" shows two of these - working in two layers and changing direction. Both of these techniques can really set your designs apart.

I've used Wonderfil Eleganza cotton perle thread - size 8 - and a 25mm (about 1") hollow brass ring in this tutorial
