I have many people enter my shop stating something like
" I can't even sew on a turn button".
How unfortunate it is that an entire generation has actually lost out on finding out how to do simply the basic abilities of sewing.
Sewing buttons on to clothes does not have to be hard. It will take you simply a few minutes with my fast and simple technique.
Follow these steps and you will have your button cell batteries on in no time at all.
1. Pull the thread from the reel and pull out to arms length
2. Now take out another arms length of cotton This implies you now have a long piece of cotton.
3. Fold the cotton into two making sure that the ends are even
4. You now have a fold one end and 2 joins the other end
5. Thread the two signs up with into the eye of the needle. Lick the ends if essential to moisten
6. You will now have four threads in the needle
Knot the end of the 4 threads. To make a knot I simply roll the end of the cotton around my index finger and pull or roll the thread through the hole in the cotton.
8. Push the needle through the material going from the ideal side to the incorrect side shell button in the position that the button is going to be. This implies when you sew the button on the knot will be underneath the button
10. Bring the needle back from the wrong side to the right side that the button will be on.
11. Put the button on to the needle and push the button down on to the fabric, covering the knot
12. Now put the needle through the opposite hole on the button and back through to the opposite side of the fabric
13. If you want to come back through one more time you can or you can knot off by putting the thread through itself and pulling the thread Do this twice and cut the thread.
Ok, so there you have it. A button has been sewn on to your garment and it will have taken you no time at all. Welllll. Maybe the very first time took you a little bit longer than me, however hey, ultimately you will become quicker at stitching on buttons.
