Step 4Sewing!
Before we sew, I talked to my son about safety, the same way his father discusses safety with him when they are working in the garage with the other tools.
A standard sewing needle in the machine will be fine on denim, IF YOU GO SLOW. Or you'll risk snapping the needle or worse, have it come flying out at you.
Now, we sew! I had my son help me position this in the sewing machine, THEN I turn the machine on and let him foot the pedal gently. As I said, I like my fingers the way they are.
Please note the overlap of the button hole piece and the seam allowance from the remaining waste band.
We sew in one direction, then turn the piece around and double back. This ensures that your stitching will hold
