Dorsett Buttons
Taught by Sandie Feck
Nov 18, 2026
Dorset buttons are traditional, hand-crafted thread buttons originating from Dorset, England, characterized by a covered ring foundation, radial spoke threads, and intricate woven or stitched geometric fillings. They date back to the 17th century when local cottage industries made them using horn molds and sheep’s wool.
Sandie Feck will be leading a class on making these fun, decorative buttons. Sandie will supply the rings to be used and the participants will supply the threads and usual stitching supplies.
If you would like to sign up for this class, please email Sandie Feck at sandra@thefecks.com by Nov. 9th.
