We all know you've got a big old jar or box--or maybe a treasure chest chock-full of buttons. This class is sure to unbutton and unleash your imagination to think about buttons outside the box—and onto quilts, and quilted accessories, and wearables. After all, whether buttons are functional or purely decorative, they're the perfect accents for everything you make.
All lessons will give you lots and lots of techniques and inspiration. Discover dozens of ways to sew on a button, and to use buttons as the perfect embellishment for any fabric design. Decorative threads, embroidery stitches, trims, beads, novelty fabrics will often play supporting roles.
Clear and easy-to-follow how-to's guide you through a great optional project so that every class can result in something you can show off right away. And in every class, you'll get fresh ideas for using all kinds of buttons to make tied quilts, small wall hangings, throw pillows, table runners, album covers, wearables, jewelry, and more.
Everyone taking this class is sure to have several very personalized, exciting creations to share on the QuiltCampus gallery, and to give as gifts. Best of all, you'll end with a treasure chest of techniques to revolutionize the way you embellish future quilt projects.
