Dorset buttons originated in the County of Dorset which is in the South of England.

Hi Heidi, all the way from a small seaside town in DORSET. 🏖 😊 I've never heard of these so I googled at this is what I found, that I thought I'd share. A Dorset button is a style of craft-made button originating in the English county of Dorset. Their manufacture was at a peak between 1622 and 1850, after which they were overtaken by machine-made buttons from factories in the developing industries of Birmingham and other growing cities. Stay Safe 🧵😊 Lynn x

Yes, Dorset buttons come from the county of Dorset in the South West here in England. It's a beautiful coastal county east of the counties Devon and Cornwall - I've visited several times because my husband was born near Bournemouth and still has family there. I remember buying a little Dorset button making kit from a little shop in the town of Dorchester when visiting many years ago.

Love these, thank you!

THIS WAS PHENOMENAL! Your lighting was good, the camera was close enough, and I could follow you as if I was seated right next to you! Also, you went off camera for the repetitive stitches once you showed us how to do it! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Very interesting! For someone who has never done this type of work it would have been easier to follow if the camera was closer to the work. For some reason an opaque light turquoise, flamingo pink or sunflower yellow show up best -- it is easier to see the stitching. Will incorporate this in a project

Amazing! From someone who lives in Bournemouth, DORSET xx

Thank you, your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. God Bless🙏🏻💖

This stitch you are using around the ring is called a “blanket“ stitch used for edging blankets. Very beautiful buttons. I am going to make some.

I have never seen this done before. Thank you, for the very detailed instructions. I am looking forward to making these.

They are Dorset buttons from Dorset England, it was a huge cottage industry.

Thank you for sharing. I made my first Dorset button this evening. The hardest part was finding a ring, that I knew I had. 😂❤️❤️

You are so creative.

Love, love, love, thank you Heidi girl!

I use a bent nose tapestry needle. It is easy and never breaks. I use DMC Cebelia size 10 or similar thread.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Great content as always. Love your channel.

Excellent video🥰 Thanks so much for explaining into great details on how you make your adorable Dorset Button’s♥️

Thank you for showing us how to make these lovely little buttons.........they are a joy!!

Well this was different to how I have seen a Dorset button started. Other than mistaking Dorset as being in Europe rather than actually being in England your instructions were very clear, but when ending a Dorset button it’s knotted on the back at the centre of the button as this gives the added area for when the button is sewn onto the garment. The reason the edge is pushed into the back of the button is to stop the wear and tear on the edge over the life of the button. The ridge would become a weak spot of the button. The blanket stitch was used in making the first round of the button as it works better than as a posed to just wrapping the yarn around the ring.

Love Love it, your directions are great, I could see all the steps wonderful video onward and upward making buttons

Beautiful Buttons Thanks for sharing 😊

Hi Heidi. Finally, instructions for adding a new thread and finishing off! I've watched some very nice videos but they just wouldn't tell me what to do when I ran out of thread or how to change colors. Your whole tutorial is very good. Thank you.

Dorset buttons originate in Dorset county in England.

Where did you get small white rings from?

Looks like you have 15 spokes on this button, is that right? Is there a certain amount or does it differ per size of the ring?...also when wrapping the spokes you do it all the way up to the ring, right?

The music is screaching, please edit it out.
