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.

Material:

-fabric to sewn the button on;

-button;

-thread.

Tools:

-scissors;

-needle.

Place the thread DOUBLE on your needle.

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.

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

Insert the button in the thread.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Cut away the remanning thread.

You don't need any extra knots.

Done.

This way your shirts will fell apart before your buttons!
