50 Heirloom Buttons to Make by Nancy Nehring,
By A Customer
This review is from: 50 Heirloom Buttons to -OSI (Paperback)
I was very pleased with my oder. It was shipped to me in less time than stated, it arrived in the exact condition it was described to be in and it is exactly what I had thought it would be. It is a great source of button making for anyone who is interested in the craft and the directions and illustrations are easy and clear. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves buttons for whatever reason.

On my top ten list...,
By A Customer
This review is from: 50 Heirloom Buttons to -OSI (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.
