Hello and welcome to the course how to properly soap a shank button. Most of you will surely think seriously anyone can still wet button. Well, I will show you how to sew a button properly. So first you have to cut about 40 centimetres long 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'll 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 tend to get the thread through try a needle with a bigger eye. 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 A pentamer 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, utterly useless and will only makes you 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. 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 change. Then stick it through the garment again, but without going all the way in. If you You can remember that you won't need to make a stem as you would for two or four whole buttons. Since this one already has one. The shank will shrink then the link between the button and the garment. So now we simply repeat each step, stick the needle back in the shank and then in the garment.

You'll want to do this about five or six times or until you feel that the button is strongly attached. Once you're done, create a knot to seal your seam by sticking the needle back once or twice in the newly created theme. This will make a solid knot now you can cut all exceeding threads and congratulations, you just fixed a 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 your button.
