Buttons tutorial

October 11th, 2009

Like I promised. Better late than never. Buttons tutorial from Basics of Sewing.

This book starts off by teaching you how to thread a needle and do some basic stitches. Chapter 2 is on sewing buttons, mending tears, simple alterations and embroidery. Chapters 3 and 4 have instructions on the usual zakka patterns like drawstring bags, quilted coasters and the likes. A few good tips on machine sewing in chapter 4. Overall, this book has clear instructions with illustrations and many nice pictures. One of my favorites!

Another button popped

So I sewed it back on this morning. This is about as close to crafting as I got since Singapore Arts Street in June ‘08! *Yikes*

Promise I’m gonna upload some excellent button tutorials from a Japanese craft book I have tonight.

Haven’t got the chance to test my underwater camera but I’ve already loaded my second roll into the Vivitar USW! Vivitar USW is my new found love! Vivitar in the day, Natura in the night. (* ̄∇ ̄)ノ
