« the end of pink.... | Main | out of the blue »
there is a step by step tutorial here if you are looking for bigger pictures and some written explanation... the link can also be found in my side bar - over there, to the right.
if you are here through the whiplash link, i would like you to consider making a donation to that wonderful site. right now it doesn't have advertising, i would love to see it stay that way. if you have entered competitions, found valuable information, new resources, learned a thing or two, or have been inspired in one way or another by what you have read head right back over there and hit the donation button. kathreen has no idea i am suggesting this, nor do i benefit in any way by your making even a little donation, i just think it is a good idea and a nice way to say thank you for all her hard work and dedication. and thanks for coming over here too ...
I laughed, I cried... two thumbs up! The music is perfect, cinematography superb.

What nice cuticles you have!
Is that all there is to it? I bought a fabric button "kit" and it came with two pieces for connecting the bits, but I couldn't get them to stay. Now I see exactly how much fabric can fit in there; I'm going to try it again!

You are so funny. Well done, Steph.

That was wonderful! And the music made me laugh!

indeed, a great tutorial- but I think that your real talent lies in cinematoghaphical emulation... would you consider doing another tutorial in the style of Quentin Tarantino? ;)
2 thumbs up!

Steph,
You've surpassed yourself, girl. What a thing to wake up to this morning. I love it - it's wonderful. You really are a dark horse. What other talents have you got up your sleeve? BTW loved the way you did it with the music too - WOW.
love Simmy

I've never seen that style of covered button before. I've also never thought to pad them. Thanks for the instructions!

I love this Steph, that's some fabulous editing (it must have taken you ages)! Thank you for sharing.

Where do you get your metal parts for the buttons and what brand? I want to make sure I start out right, just like you!!
Posted by: Marisa | 10 June 2007 at 12:15 PM
Oh! Yes! I was smiling all the way through that! I LOVED IT! I think you have revolutionized the tutorial world with your cinephile ways. You are amazing! An auteur who can really wield a gluestick.

I just did a covered button tutorial as well..for the feeling stitchy blog. I cover my buttons with needle and thread. The button kit sure does leave a nice finish on the back though, love your buttons!

That is so great. I Love making videos!!!! I love watching yours!!!
Posted by: bitter Betty | 11 June 2007 at 01:30 PM
Oh, bravo! I haven't been able to watch the video yet, but the still-shot version is fab! You're so clever. How on earth did you manage to get those perfectly steady shots of your own two hands? Wait, those were your hands, weren't they?
Posted by: Jen | 12 June 2007 at 11:29 AM
i love it!
Posted by: claudia marchan | 12 June 2007 at 08:09 PM
I will never look at a button the same way again. Such a time consuming detail, and then there is the stiching of the number! Your tutorial is wonderful, but I'll need your hands too please.
Posted by: TICA | 12 June 2007 at 10:28 PM
I don't know if I should thank you for such a impressive and cool tutorial or run after you with a stick. Do you know the kind of pressure you put on us girl'!!???! ;-P
Have a great weekend!
