I'm going to start using the phrase "like a late-stage Jenga tower" regularly in my life now, thank you for that gem
THIS IS FANTASTIC
I've been looking for this forever!
this has saved me in my last-minute shirt-making. Made the cuffs too narrow so I’ve made a little extender that’s just a rectangle with buttonholes, but just realised I’ve not got any suitable buttons and the shops are all closed -_- thank you!!
The Moment when you finished a shirt, and two weeks later a Video you’ve needed comes out…
Because I’m a grandpa I can say you have re-defined “cute as a button”. Just saying. Clean, crisp, easy to understand filmmaking. You keep getting better!!!
Thank you so, so much! I’ve really appreciated your advice when it comes to pacing and spacing 💕💕💕
This is awesome! I didn’t know thread buttons were a thing! I’m in the middle of making buttons from seashells (I live by the beach). Pretty intricate work and it’s really driving home that it’s time for me to upgrade my cheap starter tools to real deal equipment...
*forbidden cheerio*~
Can anyone explain why moist cheerios shrink when drying and not sound like a total nerd?
I'm so proud of your consistency!!!!
I love your channel dude! Please keep making videos, you are so charismatic and kind and you always brighten up my day💗
Thank you so, so much! 💕💕💕
This is your most relaxed and confident video to date. I'm loving the new you and the new content, dude. :)
ahh this! thread button! ❤
Oh god, I was just thinking how to do them
You`ve got a nice buttons, indeed! Maybe if you will have spare time you could try making a button stick - almost as a pensil, but a litle bit thicker, like the smallest finger or so, that has a conic end, and thinners to its end from half an inch or so to allmost nothing. The length of this cone is appr 2 inches. this cone shape gives you a difference between loops diameter, so when you take button from the stick and start covering it, it has a nice decrise of diameter in the center, that makes them much stronger and you can have the buttons been thin, still strong
this is so useful! thank you!
Hope it’s helpful!
cute as a button!!! ❤❤❤
Wow that was very clear, I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!
Best of luck! I hope they turn out great ☺️
Omg mini donuts 😭
Oooh, I love these.
Wow! I had no idea how they were done. Can you just imagine making them in your small cabin by candlelight? Wonderful video
So cool!
Oh this is so cool! I'm going to try this soon. I feel like you might have already seen this, but Neal Hurst of Colonial Williamsburg did a nice long video called "A look at extant 18th century shirts". I really enjoyed watching it and you might too!
Actual wizardry 😍
Those are brilliant!!
Wow I've always wanted to learn how to make these! Thanks!
Ooo, I love these buttons! Making a few for my first 18th century shirt project for sure, thank you for showing us how. :)
you are so cute und talented :) stay tuned !
Yesss thank you!!! This is just what I needed! I would love a video on making mid-18th century waist coats if you'd ever do one, as I would love to make a whole outfit for my boyfriend so he can wear period attire with me
Absolutely! I’m planning to do a waistcoat very soon ☺️
Oh, that's so useful! And they're so cute! Do people ever (now or historically) make them with additional embellishment?
Unfortunately, historical shirt buttons like these were very plain and utilitarian, but there were more ornate thread button styles like Dorset buttons which would also have been appropriate for shirts!
Hi Marius, I want to practice the buttons. but I haven't been able to get linen, I assume it should be possible to practice them in cotton but do you have any idea it will work?
It should definitely work! One caveat: linen handsewing thread is quite a bit thicker than cotton machine sewing thread, so I’d recommend doubling the thread, or it’ll take forever. Splitting a strand of six strand embroidery floss and using two strands might also work, if that makes any sense?
Keep saying koh-fi, dude, it sounds better tbh.
I feel like saying “coffee” is too vague, I just want to differentiate between “coffee” and “ko-fi” as words 😆
