I'm getting my wedding dress made by a dress maker and so I
have been on the hunt to find all the materials for the dress. I bought the
fabric and lace, but was having trouble finding the right coloured button to
match my dress. So I decided I'd make my own fabric buttons using the same
fabric as my dress that way they would match perfectly. I thought I would do a
tutorial on how I did it.
You will need:
· a thread spool
· a pair of scissors
· some self-cover buttons
·
your fabric of choice
·
some tailer chalk
· some thread
·
a cardboard circle pattern cut-out (This should
be included with your self-cover buttons)
1. Trace circle pattern onto the wrong side of the fabric
and cut it out.
2. Run a gathering stitch close to the edge of the material.
I used a sewing machine, but you could also hand sew.
3. Place the button in the centre
of the fabric on the wrong side and gather by pulling the treads.
4. Secure threads tightly and
using your fingers smooth out any gathers around the button.
5. Place washer on shank with
teeth side down and use the end of a thread spool to push the washer down
firmly.
6. Cut any loose threads close as
close to the button as possible.
Ta-Da!!! A cute little satin
button
And here is all eighteen of them.
So pretty! I can't wait to see them on my dress.
