This is the October challenge, so it felt good to actually finish it in the right month. This was also a total 180 degrees from my big Celebration project. This was small, cheap and quick.
October: Get Crafty: Make use of your own skills or learn a new one to make something from scratch rather than buy material. The possibilities for learning and applying new skills and techniques are endless. Lace, pleated self-fabric trim, knotted fly trim, embroidery, dyeing, knitting your own corset laces, hand painting your own fabric…
I decided to make cloth buttons, so that I don't have to rely on bought hooks and eyes for closure of my 16th century things.
The fabric for the buttons started out as a wool skirt I found in a second hand store. In 2016 it was turned into my first dreadful attempt at a 16th century teller barret, and quick guards for my undergown to turn more into an outer garment. I didn't have an outer gown at the time.
