BEST WAY TO SEW a BUTTON

I know there isn't the right way for sewing a button, but for me this is definitely the best way I learn to sew a button, doesn't require any finishing knots, and have a super strong hold.

My grandma, that was a taylor, used to do this way.

Step 1: WHAT YOU NEED

Material:

-fabric to sewn the button on;

-button;

-thread.

Tools:

-scissors;

-needle.

Step 2: PLACE THE THREAD

Place the thread DOUBLE on your needle.

Step 3: MAKE a KNOT

Make a simple knot or two at the end of the thread.

It is not really necessary, but I just do it to stop the thread without pay attention.

Step 4: START

Just sew a small section of the fabric, where the button should go.

Step 5: PLACE THE BUTTON

Insert the button in the thread.

Step 6: SEW THE BUTTON

Simply sew the button to the fabric.

DO NOT SEW THE BUTTON TOO TIGH TO THE FABRIC: leave a small space between the button and the fabric, so the buttonhole will eventually be able to fit there.

Step 7: KEEP SEWING

Keep sewing the button to the fabric for 5 or 6 times, as desired.

Step 8: EXIT

Exit with the thread under the button, BUT on top of the fabric.

Step 9: WRAP

Turn the thread around the button for 4 or 5 times.

Step 10: INSERT THE THREAD

Than insert the thread between the button and the fabric, in the sewn you did.

Before in one direction, than in the other, and pull.

Step 11: CUT

Cut away the remanning thread.

You don't need any extra knots.

Step 12: DONE

Done.

This way your shirts will fell apart before your buttons!
