When I do the other vest, I'll use a finer cotton thread and have a bit of a good time with more designs. The thread I've picked out is used for whitework embroidery, so it can stand some use, as buttons will need to.

Dorset buttons in production
This afternoon being one of torrential rain, it was a good day to make the Dorset buttons needed for the blue vest. So, before my hand started to cramp up, I got a few done. They're small, as you see, so I couldn't do any fancy footwork with the designs, just stuck to needleweaving wherever it fitted. I'd already tested that they would actually fit through the buttonholes.

Wow - they're small!!! I think if I were making them I'd be spending more time picking them up off the floor than I would stitching. Little things and arthritic fingers aren't a good marriage.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky that I still have finger dexterity, not quite as good as it used to be, but still good enough. I really enjoyed making these.
