Fiber Talk with Gina Barrett of Gina-B Silkworks

57 minutes

Gina Barrett designs a lot of buttons.Embroidered buttons by Gina Barrett.We’re making buttons this week with our guest Gina Barrett of Gina-B Silkworks. Actually, we’re exploring all types of passementerie with a very talented designer and author. Her start was making buttons in the costume world. That beginning blossomed into a business that offers passementerie supplies for a wide variety of techniques, a long list of books and instruction manuals, TV shows, and classes and workshops. If you’ve never made Dorset or thread-wrapped buttons, now is the time to give it a try. You may get addicted and want to try your own button-a-day challenge.–Beth and Gary
