A very simple Dorset button DIY video with a side of fast fashion rescue

In which I elevate the mundane task of replacing a shirt button by making said button entirely from thread.

neat! like a ring in irish crochet, but with buttonhole stitches instead of single crochets, and then crossbars after. a very practical member of the lacemaking family

I learned this loop method via Irish Lace crochet. You can make a very firm button - great for shirt buttons. Thanks for this video. It is fun.

Very clear tutorial! Thanks from Ottawa, Ontario Canada!

Alternatively, if you feel like you may get confused as what side is front or back of the button when unkinking the thread, you can hold the button and let the thread and needle dangle to unwind. I actually do this often when I'm doing sashiko embroidery.

Any chance you could show various other button types? I’m curious about fabric covered ones

[@anotherdreamgonewest]

Definitely, thanks for the suggestion!
