So the first tutorial post, exciting. I thought I should start with simple and useful. How many times have you found yourself searching around the floor for a missing button? Well I cant help you find it! But I can help you reattach it.
Firstly thread the needle. I am using a bright coloured cotton so it can be seen clearly but obviously you needs to try and match your cotton as close to the colour of the garment as possible.
Now starting at the back of the garment, in this case a blouse, pull the needle and cotton through to the front. Thread on the button
Then bring the needle down into the hole next to the one the need was brought through. Repeat this two more times to make sure it is secure.
Repeat the aforementioned process on the second set of holes. End with the needle at the back side of the blouse.
To ensure the button stays in place, put the needle into a stitch on the back side.
Pull it through but stop before the stitch tightens, so it appears as a loop
Then pull the needle through the loop and pull to tighten. You can cut the thread there but I tend to repeat the process another time, just to make sure.
And there you have it! easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
