How to tie a Celtic Button Knot

We found this great (and simple) tutorial on How to tie a Celtic Knot from The Weavers of Eternity Paracord Tutorials.

We are going to play around with this knot to make the front fastening for our next hand bag project. Once we have made a few samples we will let you know how we get on and what the possibilities are.

If anyone can recommend any other knot types or tutorials then please post a comment to share with our community and let us know.

Update: here is a link to the ‘Lady A’; A handbag pattern made from 100% wool felt and just oozes catwalk appeal!

Fable & Guild

About Fable & Guild We are a small design and sewing pattern drafting studio based in the UK. We are really excited about designing, developing and drafting sewing patterns and knitting patterns that really do follow seasonal fashion trends. This philosophy is where we believe we are different and can make a difference to the home knitter and sewing enthusiasts. Our head designer is RCA trained (Royal College of Art) in women’s wear design and has exhibited her work in both the UK and in Europe. A watchful eye is kept on the seasonal ready-to-wear collections by the design team as the fashion designers demonstrate their catwalk prowess and innovative creativity to the world and where fashion news becomes fashion trend. Our design principles are also drawn and inspired by the extravagant and exclusive haute couture houses where extreme attention to detail and silhouette can be observed. The fashion catwalks of Paris, Milan, London, and New York, not to mention Brazil, Japan and India who are really breaking new ground in trend led design, is where we review and consider exactly what is going on in the heady world of fashion! We aim to bring you accessible ready to make catwalk inspired design. We believe that home made can mean high fashion and that Ready-to-Wear and Ready-to-Make has resonance in our daily sewing and knitting lives. Joining our community… We hope you will watch us as we grow by visiting our Design Studio Blog. This is where we will journal and log the details of just what it takes to develop a fashion brand and design concept right through to a considered fashion conclusion ...and then of course taking the design conclusion right through to a draft knitting and sewing pattern for you to make at home! You might also be interested in our other blog ‘Let’s Talk Hand Bags!’ which is where we report on what we really consider as fashion forward arm candy! As we go out and about we will snap shot a medley of handbags, as they are being worn by YOU; shopping, nights out, at work, relaxing etc. In fact, we would love you to join in? ...Using your smart phone, camera or even a quick sketch or doodle whilst sitting on the train to send us a picture of your favourite hand bag, a shop window or even a picture of a ‘to die for’ handbag that has caught your eye perhaps?
