C&G Certificate Module 3, Chapter 7 - Simple Button Making

I really enjoyed making these buttons and toggles. It has filled me with ideas for future projects.

 I used hand-dyed cord, a fruit net bag (again), sheer polyester, machine cord and ribbon to wrap shapes covered in fabric. The Dorset Buttons are slightly more traditional.

Using a heat gun and soldering iron I have produced some very colourful toggles. I particularly liked wrapping metallic thread over the tyvek and fruit net and watching the underneath layers shrink away. The feather toggle looks like a fitted evening gown with a voluminous skirt!
