I, like others commenting, am surprised at the need for a button tutorial. My fabric stash is from used clothing found at the flea market (in Tunisia), so I've been cutting off and saving the buttons for years and years. Have them organized by color. I think I could match just about any button!<br />Thanks for sharing! I'll stop by again. <br />Best, nadiaMulticoloredPieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161913409399066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456791224569927532.post-26395547654596299302011-06-25T11:00:22.016-05:002011-06-25T11:00:22.016-05:00As others have said it is amazing the number of pe...As others have said it is amazing the number of people who cannot sew a button. I once worked with a woman who took all of her clothes, ALL, to the cleaners for laundering a d dry cleaning and told them to do any necessary repairs because she did not even know how to do laundry. If you need a button and cannot find a close match you can take one from the bottom below the tucked area of a shirt and replace it with a slight mismatch and no one os the wiser. It means sewing 2 but looks better.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221599574229815444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456791224569927532.post-84155900406915285322011-06-25T09:37:12.968-05:002011-06-25T09:37:12.968-05:00oh goodness.

He lost ALL the buttons on his shorts yesterday and was asking me for safety pins..lol<br /><br />I sew all my buttons on using my applique foot and my sewing machine.. much faster...<br /><br />If sewing by hand for some reason, I start the needle from the front of the shirt,then add the button and then back up into the button.. this hides the knot under the button...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263122218181506913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456791224569927532.post-10530113711698001462011-06-25T09:15:11.480-05:002011-06-25T09:15:11.480-05:00Just last night at a crop party, my friend Mia &am...Just last night at a crop party, my friend Mia & were talking of how we love to knit and crochet, quilt like crazy, and read our Kindles...we wished we only did 1 thing! It is tiring at times just to choose what to do, but how can we stop? Then a friend next to us told us that she could not even sew on a button, could barely thread a needle, and she promised us that this was true. I am sending her this link right now. ~aSO I'M Anna Fogg, an eclectic kinda galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130588188808820614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456791224569927532.post-27255832725028542632011-06-25T08:42:13.782-05:002011-06-25T08:42:13.782-05:00Thanks! to you & your hubby for the great tuto...Thanks! to you & your hubby for the great tutorial!

I read it in complete fascination thinking all the while that it could have used more pictures. like close ups of the threads and how you criss cross them. WHY? Because this teaches "independent living skills" to visual learners.<br />Ahem.... I might have to make my own button replacement tutorial for GP. I think this idea is just brilliant. I am so dead serious, you have no idea. Thanks for posting this.
