Zwirnknopf Buttons
3-Hour Workshop
12 pm - 3 pm EST, Wednesday, January 20

Zwirnknopf Buttons, also known as shirt lace buttons, are a more modern innovation than the traditional Dorset button, dating back to the Edwardian era at the beginning of the twentieth century. Start with the six-pointed Star button, progress to the Austrian Shirtlace, and finish with the slightly trickier but most popular Lace Shirtwaist. Finish our time together as a fully trained buttoner!
