The Dorset Button Singleton design is the only all fabric button made during the hight of the Dorset Button cottage industry. I use the traditional way to make these buttons but us contemporary or vintage fabrics. I love the way this rich silk fabric is set off when mounted on this black shell button.

Full description
Dorset Button pin brooch using the Singleton Design
This lovely Dorset Button, is mounted onto a large black shell button, and worked in 'Singleton' design. I used a lovely silk fabric which I discovered in my stash of silk off-cuts.
The fitting on the back of the button is 7cm long so can be used as a pin brooch on a jacket or as a decorative scarf brooch. I have also used it as a hat pin.
Please Note: I have tried to match the colour but your monitor may be set to show a slightly different shade.
Dorset Buttons originated in Shaftesbury in the 1620s. They became a major cottage industry in Dorset creating employment and income for many families. By the 1780s 4,000 women and children were employed in the industry. The industry came to an end in the 1800s with the introduction of a button making machine.
Designed by Anna McDowell in Shaftesbury, Dorset
