Sewing Buttons - Quick And Easy

Are you dazzled by the unique styles you see on do-it-yourself sewers but are terrified to try making an outfit yourself?  If you're one of those folks who say over and over, "I can't even sew on a button!" than listen up.  Whether you're a budding fashionista or a single guy tired of safety pinning his pants together (you know who you are), this simple guide to sewing on a button is a gateway to sartorial freedom!

1.There are thousands of different styles of buttons available.  Usually, a new shirt or pair of pants will come with a couple "just-in-case" extras, but if your favorite vintage something or other has busted that last snap, head to a fabric shop.  

Make sure you choose a size that will fit comfortable through your buttonhole without leaving room to wiggle free and leaving you exposed.  If you're not sure what size to get, bring your buttonless garment with you and take a new button for a test drive.  Afraid you'll feel self-conscious?  Don't be, this kind of stuff happens at fabric shops all the time.

2. If a button is sewn on too tightly it won't be able to fit through its hole.  Leave some space between it and your garment by creating something called a "shank".

3. When you're ready, place two straight pins crossed where the button used to go, or will go now.

4. Position the button over the cross.

5. Tie/stitch the thread through the buttonholes at least three or four times.

6. Remove the pins.  Create a shank by winding the thread around itself in the space between the button and your fabric a few times.  You're sort of making a stem that will allow the button space to do its thing, while also increases its strength and flexibility.

7. Bring your thread through the wrong side of the fabric.  Stitch a couple times, and then tie the loose ends in a not.  Voila, you are finished!

There are so many different kinds of buttons to choose from you may become dizzy, or even overly stimulated.  If you can't find something that tickles your fancy at a fabric shop in your hometown, try searching for vintage buttons online – or head to the thrift store and grab a cheap shirt that just happens to be a home for the buttons of your dreams!  

Also, if you really love that new coat at Coat Mart, but art crazy about the "blah" buttons, just pick up some brand new ones and replace those fickle fasteners.  You'll have a coat like no other, and you did it yourself!

Pin $18.67 Young Leon and Ursula had little except each other. Mother was driven by a psychotic need to clean--constantly--everything in sight. Father was consumed by his medical practice and an analytical approach to life. But he understood the sensual hunger growing inside his children's young bodies. He knew they could help each other answer, "The Need." Father had Science. Father had Reason. And he had Pin. Pin who answered all the children's questions in a voice not unlike the doctor's. Father's clever trick. Father's brilliant illusion. But then there was the accident and Mother and the doctor were dead. Still there was Pin--who had so much to tell then even yet...whose enigmatic stare held such wisdom. There would just be the three of them now. Quiet Leon, beautiful and frightened Ursula, and wise, implacable Pin. They were all each of them would need. Ever.
