About Me

- Oksana Starzhynska
- My blog's main subjects are sewing, the thing in which I am experienced the most, and beadwork, which is, in fact, pushed me into blogging. I am also engaged in knitting and crocheting. All together they are the set of skills which I use to make my wardrobe my whole life. These are not my only interests, I also like the English language (that's one of the reasons that my blog is bilingual), try to travel around my country and abroad (when can afford it), am interested in art (to the degree of a dilettante but nevertheless) and adore the people who can create anything beautiful or useful whatever it is :-) So welcome to a needlecrafter diary!

Beaded Buttons, or Georgina Colour
One of my next sewing projects wants me to learn a couple of new skills and today I am ready to share the first result, beaded buttons.
It is not very hard to bead buttons, besides getting unique items, you can also save a lot if you have suitable materials in your stash. I think it is possible to adjust the pattern to the only number of seed beads but the button will look much better if to use both 11/0 (mine is 10/0) and 15/0 seed beads as the beaders teach.
So after the previous row on the above photo, I made a peyote row of 10/0 seed beads and then the row of 15/0 seed beads. Then decreasing row - nine 15/0 decreased to five. And in the last row added only four 10/0 which were pulled together. Then wove the thread ends and cut them.
I like what I get and hope my learning the next skill will have good result as well.
