Adorning with Buttons
Join us in the studio for a sweet evening of stitching and conversation — transforming old garments with one-of-a-kind button design<3
Check out this Pinterest board to see the kind of things that are possible!
We've sourced an incredible button supply from up and down the east coast for you to use to craft custom motifs and transform your pieces into whimsical wares! Our button selection includes a mixture of vintage and modern buttons in various materials, from wood and pearl to metal and resin.
We'll kick off the time with an inspo session, go over the basics of sewing on buttons and leave you to follow your creative whims alongside other crafty humans.
Bring a special garment from home, or opt to choose a secondhand oversized button up from our collection. All button-ing materials provided, and this gathering is entirely beginner friendly.
Things of Note:
The techniques involved in sewing functional buttons are different than that of a decorative button. We'll be teaching the decorative method!
Up to 40 buttons are included in your ticket, and you'll be asked to plan your design accordingly.
Depending on the scope of your vision and speed of sewing, you may need to finish your piece at home.
A complimentary bev will be provided, and snacks available for purchase.
See you there!
What can I expect from a project at RecCreate?
Projects are the perfect chance to finally make that thing you saved on tiktok or pinned months ago, where all you have to do is show up! We curate the coolest materials and walk you through it step by step. Naturally, you leave with the sickest me-made piece for yourself or as the sweetest gift. Projects are a great opportunity to try out a new craft without having to invest in all of the materials, alongside other creative humans. These are not highly technical workshops— our emphasis is on craft, self expression and creative empowerment.
As with all RecCreate events, you can expect to go on this journey with a room full of lovely strangers. We’ll offer opportunities for connection throughout our time— encouraging the spirit of the collective. It is (so) much more fun to get to create together.
