How To: Dorset Buttons
Vložit

- How to make a dorset button and a couple of variations on the traditional dorset button, because, those of you who know me, know I'm all about taking a traditional stitch or technique and finding new and interesting ways to do it. As always I demonstrate the dorset button using a number of different threads and thread weights.
This tutorial will walk you through how to make a traditional dorset button and then how make one with a little twist!

After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I found Sue Spargo in 2015 through her Craftsy class, and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

Very nice!
Thanks Barbara! ❤️
Thank you! Very Nice
Thanks Rene. ❤️
Thank you for this Demo. Doing it in different threads and weights is very helpful. What I love best is that your videos is that they are always there to refer to. My only drawback is that I am not left handed.
GERALDINE BOBNAR - thank you. ❤️
I am right handed as well, however, I have learned to do some of my stitches left handed now from watching Ariane...
Paige McKelvey ha! 💕💕
The little rings I found when I open a water bottle and break the seal it leaves a little plastic ring so I have been collecting those and I have quite a few now I just thought I’d share for anybody that buys water when you break the seal the little ring that’s left behind off the Makes an excellent Dorset button ring
I never thought of using those! ❤️
They are often quite flexible though, which isn't ideal. Better if you can to find brass or plastic curtain rings, or a small metal bangle for a larger size DB. Oh, and always keep the tiny rings off old bras as they make the best delicate, authentic Dorset buttons when worked with very fine crochet cotton or buttonhole thread, although they are fiddly to do at that size!
@@carakiller2103 I give up!….where are the rings on a bra?
@@trduesing4117 At the bottom of the shoulder strap, back.
@@carakiller2103 oh right….thank you for the info!
Very nice craft. I will follow you since I do embroidery. Regards from Argentina. Silvia
Thank you Silvia! ❤️
Those are so beautiful!
Even though I am right handed I learn so much from you. Can’t thank you enough for sharing your talent.
Oh Yvette, I'm so glad you think so. Thank you. ❤️
TY for sharing!! New subbie, refered by a friend Cordula P. I will share with a FB Group for one of our monthly challenges. 🐞✌️🕉️
Thx so much Lala. Wonderful! ❤️

Hi Ariane, I believe I met you in 2015 or so at Pat Pauly’s class in MA! Your backdrop looks like the techniques we learned. I’d seen the Dorset Buttons on Quilting Arts TV and just googled it… what a surprise to see your name pop up. I 💕 your buttons with the variety of textures & colors of threads. I may have to try these sometime as they really intrigued me. Could be a special decoration for a handmade garment! Thank you for sharing your talents. (Are you still making jewelry too?).
Hi! Yes, I love Pat and when I began stitching on linen asked her to do some printing on linen, which she did and now carries in her shop.
I gave up my jewelry studio several years ago. Thanks so much for reaching out. Tell me how those Dorset buttons go. They’re a lot of fun. ❤️
i did learn how to make them but what your showing isn't always in view. Your over in the top right corner, thanks for sharing
I do my best, but thank you for the feedback. Glad you were able to figure it out anyway. ❤️
Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial. It made it simpler for me seeing it closer.
GERALDINE BOBNAR I’m so glad! They’re a lot of fun.
Thank you for youtube film.😊 I'm new to Dorset buttons and would like to make some for a cardigan which was left to me by a dear relative. I have a few questions- if you don't mind🤞
Why is blanket stitch turned to centre and not left on outside where it would make edge of button longer lasting?
Why is it blanket stitch rather than buttonhole stitch - which would last better? As on tailored garments.
Do you get sore elbow tendons from pulling the length of thread/wool through with each stitch?
Best wishes, Alison
Hi Alison, these are great questions! So here goes: you do not need to turn it inward and I often don’t, it depends on what I’m going to be using it for.
Use either stitch, it won’t make a difference. And I cannot remember your final question, so I’ll have to answer in a second response. ❤️
And finally, I’ve never gotten sore elbows or anything else from making these, but perhaps I’m just lucky, I don’t know. 🤷♀️
Tell me how it goes!
Ariane you indicated you were going to share the link for the Bead Case - have I missed it?
Remind which “bead case” are you referring to? Is this something I mention in this video?
@@ArianeZurcher212 yes it was u were showing us the lovely bead case someone recommended!! I believe it had blue tops on the small individual sections!
@@sharonfisher4495 Aw, yes, here you go: amzn.to/3lzIDFN I'll put the link below as well. ❤️
@@ArianeZurcher212 THANK YOU so very much!!!
does the button size matter??
No unless you are using a very heavy thread in which case it will be hard if not impossible to wrap on a very small ring. ❤️
What is the purpose of doing a blanket stitch if you will not be using those knots in your design? Can you not just wrap the threads around, without doing the full blanket stitch?
Wrapping thread around a ring will be very difficult to control and even harder to keep tight, but give it a shot and see what happens and then report back. ❤️
I was given a large bag of key rings woukd they be ok .
I should think any ring of any material will work. ❤️
I should think any ring of any material will work. ❤️
You'll get a bit of an unsightly dip where the ring starts and ends, so much better to find brass or plastic curtain rings, or a small metal bangle for a larger size DB. Oh, and always keep the tiny rings off old bras as they make the best delicate, authentic Dorset buttons when worked with very fine crochet cotton or buttonhole thread, although they are fiddly to do at that size!
These look lovely, but as a beginner found it difficult to follow at times as the button kept moving out of the picture
I know that’s frustrating.
Very nice and wonderful, but it'svery difficult to do. Can i have one for free, no its only joke
Haha! 🤣💕🤣
Very pretty. I wish you would go slower and explain as you go.
Hi Shelley, thank you for your thoughts on this. It's always a tough balance to go quickly enough that people don't get bored, yet slow enough so that those who are trying to follow along can still do so without getting too frustrated. For this reason I will be shooting a new video focussing on Dorset Buttons that will go much slower. Once I have it up on my website, I'll let people know. All the best, Ariane
@@ArianeZurcher212 Perfect !! Thank you so very much.
Very hard to follow. Was off camera too much. Not clear love the idea.
