FOLKfloral--Embroidery Art with Buttons
FOLKfloral--Embroidery Art with Buttons
Sometimes you just feel the urge to go out on a limb...or a branch...or in this case, a flower stem. That happened to me as I found myself imagining buttons with an odd number of holes--or holes in odd places. Would it be possible then to sew on those buttons in really interesting ways?
This "poppy" button has six holes. Imagine the possibilities! Sew through the center to each petal then from the center into the fabric between the petals. Add a French knot in any or all of the button holes. And to really add detail, sew a flurry of stamens behind the button before you attach it. You only need to sew straight stitches and French knots, yet the result is charming--the perfect last detail to add to any stitching project.
