In this video I show you how to make a basic Dorset Flower button. This pretty button is easy to make, and can be further changed for a large number of variations once you know how! I have also added a couple extra ideas at the end - adding coloured stitches and working a chain stitch border (which works great on other Dorset buttons too).

Lovely button. I made o e last night on a sweater that was missing a button for at least 10 yrs. I only had 5 rIngs. Finally bought more and the sweater and I are happy.

How lovely! I have been watching your dorset button videos, have bought your tools and some rings. I have lots of the threads you use in my collection of tatting threads. I am now telling myself it is high time I make my first button! I love this flower button.

Oh thank you! Tatting threads will be lovely - you'll have quite defined textures. x

Nice, I have looking at so many hand made buttons but they were to modern for what I wanted mine for, now this I do like. Just had a look at your website and already setup an account ready for next pay day lol with a few items with the heart clicked so I can go right to the ones I need up first. Found your site via Bernadette Banner as she And Heathcliff we’re making buttons following your tutorials 😊 I am soo looking forward to finally finishing my winter jacket I designed a year ago and made using Tunisian crotchet which I have just learnt to do in place of knitting 😹😹 but I just could not find any buttons that I liked in the shops or online, hence the hunt for hand made again they just would not work as they were using fabric but I needed something made from the yarns used to make my jacket. Now I can play around and see what I can come up with. Thank you do much for sharing 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Button making really can be quite addictive, as they really are a nice take-anywhere project in between all those big plans we have. Using matching yarns and threads is always such a good idea, it gives a real couture finish. Thank you so much for commenting
