Heirloom buttons 7 Oct 2009

By MissYvonne Kriwack

Format:Paperback

An excellent book with copious ilustrations and good working instructions to create your own buttons. All levels of ability are catered for so that you can progress at your own speed and try new and different techniques including needle lace and crocheted buttons. The chapter on frogging showed how to create perfect closures for period costumes and new coats etc.

On my top ten list... 22 Oct 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

...of best needlework books. Nehring's careful scholarship has produced a thoughtful, clear guide to recreating textile buttons that might have been lost to this Generation of Glueguns and Three-minute crafts. Her instructions are clear and concise, the samples are well-made and appealing, and Tullis's photography is sharp and detailed. She lists suppliers in the back and techniques in the table of contents. Although some require experience in crochet, most buttons are readily accessible to the needlework beginner. My only regret is that it doesn't seem available in hardback, because I've worn out my copy through completing many of the projects. It would have been helpful had the backs of the buttons (besides the two or three shown) been shown for finishing techniques. I wish that extant buttons from earlier eras had been depicted besides the one meagre split photo on pp. i and 1.

This book inspires me every time I open it; I love it.

this is one excellent book 8 Oct 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

i do a lot of crochet work. this wonderful book covers every kind of button you can imagine. it has opened my eyes to several new techiques. needle lace weaving for one. if you knit crochet or sew and like to give your garments a little extra, this book will give you lots of new ideas.

Now i know where the expression "cute as a button" came from 2 Aug 2004

By Manola Sommerfeld - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

My dream is that one day i will have enough free time to try all sorts of crafts. For that purpose, i hoard crafts books, including this one.

I haven't made any of the buttons in this book, but i have read over the instructions of the majority. Honestly, i think i can make at least the easy and the moderate projects. Nancy Nehring's explanations are very clear, and easy to follow. Still, though, i would have liked more diagrams in a step-by-step way (at least for the basic styles).

The photographs are gorgeous, and they certainly do justice to the many beautiful styles of buttons depicted.
