Day 6- Sewing a Button http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjmUaWkzF-I After locating where your button will go, mark with a pencil. Thread a needle with double thread, knotting the ends together Insert your needle from the underside of the fabric

Sewing a Button Now, place the button, and pass the needle from underneath the garment through one of the button holes.  Stitch diagonally four times

Sewing a Button Push the button upwards to create distance between it and the fabric. Wind your thread tightly around to construct a thread column – this is called a shank.

Do not fold pouch! Sewing a Button Finally, pass your needle through the middle of the shank, leaving a small loop Thread back through that loop to secure. Repeat this act once more, and you’ve finished sewing your flat button. Do not fold pouch!

Sewing the Pouch- Fold it first. Continue sewing up and over flap Do not cut button hole! End Here Start Sewing Here
