Gina-B Silkworks | How to sew on a Dorset Button - and use it as an actual fastening! Ideas to try @GinaBSilkworks | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
This video is one of three (it was too long as one video!) to show you just a few of the ways in which you can sew on a Dorset ring button or a Zwirnknopfe button.
We'll look at the ways described in Dillmont's "Encyclopedia of Needlework" for both linen and webbed buttons, as well as method to add a small shank as you work, and a worked shank.
Do please also take a look at one of my previous video that has loads of other ideas for finishing the backs of your buttons - including many shank ideas.
