Hi and welcome to the very first beginners course in the fix it yourself 10 stitch series. fixing your clothes and accessories will allow you to buy less, which will not only have a lasting effect on your ecological and social footprint, but also on your wallet. So in this video I will teach you how to sew a two or four hold button. Most of you probably think seriously, anyone can sew a button. Well I will show you how to sew a button properly. First of all, you have to cut about 60 centimetres of the thread of your choice, then you can put the thread through the eye of the needle.

This might be difficult at first but you will improve with time there is no magic way of doing this. You can only make sure that the thread is cut neatly. If you really can get the thread through try and needle with a bigger So here we go. Once you get the thread through the needle, make sure the needle goes right in the middle of it and that the two ends of the thread are touching. You will always want to use double thread if you want your work to be sturdy. However, for more delicate work like a blind stitch on a pentagram for example, you will want to use a simple thread.

In the case of a button though we want something sturdy so double thread it is never forget that you don't have to waste hours trying to make a knot at the end of your thread. Nope, it's utterly useless and will only makes you lose time and energy. Instead, you can just pass the thread through the right side of the garment where you will sell the button leaving about a centimeter. So do try to take only a few threads of the fabric if the thickness allows it. So if the garment is more fragile, like In the case of this garment, don't do that because it might tear the material or the button might fall off. You can now do this again two or three times to make a strong knot.

Once your thread is tightly attached to the garment, stick the needle in the buttons hole from one hole to the next. The order of the holes will depend on whether you want to create a next or a square shape between the holes. I recommend looking at how the other buttons are sewn. If there aren't any, then so it to your liking. And if your button only has two holes, it's even simpler. After going through the second hole, pull the needle through the garment if possible without going all the way through the fabric.

It's important to leave a small space between the button and the garment. This part is called the stem. It will keep the pattern in place without stressing fabric. You must remember that once the button is being used, the garment will create a layer of thickness between the button and where it is sewn on the material. So having a stem will strengthen the bond between them. And now you have to repeat your steps a couple times to take the needle in a hole always following the chosen thread pattern and always follow the same hole order.

Remember, always leave space for the stem with each threading through the material. You can repeat these steps about three or four times or until the thread patterns thickness is the same as on the other buttons. If there is any other buttons to compare with, continue until you feel it is strong enough. And now we need to circle the stem with the threat. This again will strengthen it when coming back up through the material Y'all the last time Do not go through a patch on hole, rather turn the thread maybe four or five times around a stem. Once this is done, stick the needle through the base of the stem two times.

This will make a solid not. Now you can cut all exceeding threads. Congratulations, you just fixed your button like a pro. And from now on, make sure to always keep the extra buttons you receive when purchasing a piece of clothing. That way you'll be able to fix them. If you ever lose one.

You could have a small drawer or box in which to keep them and then you'd only have to browse through it before fixing it button. With this technique, you can be sure your button will stay in place.
