From the Create & Craft website:

"I bought these after watching Gina's TV Demo - just had to give it a go. Within hours of receiving them I had made a small selection of my own thread covered buttons. Truly fabulous instructions - so clear and well illustrated. Inspirational too."

"I really enjoyed this DVD and found it clear, easy to follow and highly informative. No gimmicks to distract, just clear instructions and lovely close photography. A real joy to watch! The bonus is learning the history of this wonderful art. No wonder Gina Barrett is in high demand for costume dramas. Thank you for such good entertainment and a new craft to get stuck into!"

"This has to be one of the best dvd's I have had. Gina shows and explains how to make buttons. When you have had this dvd you will be hooked. "
