The tradition of Dorset button-making dates back to the seventeenth century and in this inspiring guide, Pat Olski celebrates the handmade button's irresistible charm for modern-day knitting, sewing, and needlepoint aficionados. Many of these jewel-like items resemble tiny canvases embellished with images of flowers and animals. This book presents a history of the craft as well as beautifully photographed instructions for 30 variations on the basic procedure.
