(SOLD OUT) Button Making Workshop

Use rings, thread and yarn to take your sewing to another level at a Button Making Workshop on Sunday, Dec. 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. in The Studio.

In this hands-on course, instructor Billie Theide will help students create beautiful and functional Dorset buttons as they learn skills such as casting, slicking, laying spokes, rounding and weaving, and embellishing.

Once a cottage industry in Dorset, England, Dorset buttons can be used creatively to embellish clothing and accessories and to make jewelry.

$105. Register at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/button-making-workshop/. Registration will close Dec. 7 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
