I was getting fed up having to wear a chain on my glasses so decided to make a brooch instead. I learnt to make Dorset Buttons several years ago and had almost forgotten all about them. Having tried fabric glasses holders first, I preferred the Dorset button as it is a better size to go with all clothing, they look smart and, not forgetting, how much fun they are to make.
