Day 105 : Favour

Day 105 : Favour

Guess what inspired me here? Might be Easter chocolates... haha!

I do hope everyone is staying well and healthy. 

I have used a star mould - a prototype actually - we ended up making the size the same as others in our range so it would be a No 89, if that makes sense. That means my button is a little smaller. I've also used No 12 perle and some DMC diamant metal thread.

Size: 24mm / 15/16" / 36L

Day 104 : Cynosure

Day 104 : Cynosure

Today's button is a covered button with a bit of embroidery. No real plan, I just thought the two colours looked nice :). And I do like a nice loopy bullion. 

I have used a No 3 mould and some lovely slub silk fabric from my stash. The embroidery has been worked with No 12 perle. 

Size (excluding loops): 25mm / just under 1" / 40L

Day 103: Eostre

Happy Easter to you all!

An oval doodle button for today. Oval buttons are a fair bit harder to wrap than other shapes, but they do look nice when you do. I've seen a few historic examples - mostly seem to date from around the 1910-20s sort of era, and are usually made with cords. Of course, the shape can also be used to make a covered button and that is far more simple to do!

I've used a No 20 mould and No 12 perle thread.

Size (lengthwise) : 36mm / 1 3⁄8" / 56L
