I have many people enter into my store saying something like
" I can't even sew on a imitation horn button".
How unfortunate it is that a whole generation has actually lost out on finding out how to do just the basic skills of sewing.
Sewing buttons on to clothes doesn't need to be tough. It will take you just a couple of minutes with my quick and easy method.
Follow these steps and you will have your alkaline button cell on in no time at all.
1. Pull the thread from the reel and take out to arms length
2. Now take out another arms length of cotton This suggests you now have a long piece of cotton.
3. Fold the cotton into 2 making certain that completions are even
4. You now have a fold one end and 2 joins the other end
5. Thread the 2 joins into the eye of the needle. Lick completions if essential to dampen
6. You will now have 4 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 roll the thread or pull through the hole in the cotton.
8. Press the needle through the material going from the best side to the incorrect side in the position that the button is going to be. This implies when you stitch 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 press 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 desire to return 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 actually been sewn on to your garment and it will have taken you no time at all at all. Welllll. Perhaps the very first time took you a little longer than me, but hey, ultimately you will become quicker at stitching on buttons.
Constantly keep your cottons, needles and pins in the exact same place. When you require to sew on a button rapidly, its good to know where the products are, so you do not waste a stack of time looking for the needle and thread.
