Day 134 : Galaxy

Day 134 : Galaxy

Another very late posting, as I watch Sewing Bee. Today is Toby's birthday and we've been for an extra long walk this evening following the footpath that has a section on the very, very busy road. So we always avoid it, despite it being, literally, down the road. Lockdown has meant we can walk along the verge without risking our lives. 

This button is needle felted - when getting something else I saw my wool stash and thought - yes, spending an evening stabbing things will be good! I might have to do some again tonight as well. 

There's no mould on this - although I did the felting onto fabric to stiffen it a little, and the excess fabric is folded and stitched to the back.

Day 133 : Plush

Day 133 : Plush

Nope, I still am not keen on the changes to the blogger layout. Guess I'll get used to it ;)

Today's button is one using the plushwork technique - so quite a boring name really, but it does best describe this very tactile button! I've used regular stranded embroidery cotton for the plush part, it almost looks like silk.

I've used a square button mould in a size we don't actually make - cut out a little larger for a commission at some time.

Size : 23mm / 7⁄8" / 34L

Egads! What has Blogger done to me - changing the layout and buttons and everything. So, my apologies if nothing on this post looks right!

Today's button is a wrapped and woven, I think the simplicity of two colours is quite nice. This could of course be made to go with just about anything by keeping the colour scheme simple.

I've used a No 2 button mould and No 12 cotton perle. I won't link today, as it will probably take me another 20 minutes to do it properly, lol!
