Description

You want to learn how to hand stitch a Buttonhole like the professional tailors do? You want to finish your self-made pants or bags or any other projects with a nicer looking Buttonhole than the machine sewn ones?

In this class I will teach you step by step how to prepare your fabric to get the best results, how the Buttonhole stitch works, how to place the knots on the different parts of the Buttonhole and how to finish your Buttonhole to look neat and clean.

To wrap up the topic there will be one lesson about how to sew on a Button to last and look pretty at the same time.

Tools and Materials needed:

• A piece of fabric for practice

• A short hand sewing needle

• Thick thread

• A sewing machine and matching thread (the sewing machine isn´t essential)

• Sharp small scissors

• Punch pliers for the eye if you have, but you can also make a Buttonhole without an eye

• Tailor´s chalk if you have, but a pencil will do the work as well

• Fabric glue or wood glue if you have

• A thimble if you want to use one

• A button of your choice

To follow the class, you don´t need a lot of experience in sewing. Everyone can do this with a bit of practice.
