You've worked hard to create the perfect garment, so you
don't want to skimp on the buttons. But finding buttons that complement, embellish and add the perfect finishing touch is difficult. Luckily, the solution is easy - make your own and have complete control over button style, shape, color, texture, and size!
In this class, Nancy Hernandez will teach you how to create
both a Dorset button (a needle lace button worked on a ring with fine thread and a needle) and a Singleton button (a tailored, fabric-covered Dorset button.) Both buttons are quick and easy to make, and once you learn to create your own custom buttons, you'll never again settle for something less-than-perfect for your garments!
Nancy Hernández was born in Cali, Colombia, South America, and has lived in the United States since 1970.
She started sewing when her first daughter was born in 1967. “I was the most proud mother” Nancy exclaims
about her first dress. However, with time she realized that the dress was far from a work of art. Slowly, she took into
consideration more and more details. She perfected her skills to the point of making the wedding gowns for her three daughters and many other ladies. Nancy has also mastered the rare art of tatting. She learned tatting in elementary school in Colombia and has practiced it ever since.
