When the button fell off my coat last week, I immediately said, ‘I’ll just swing by my mother’s house.’ My colleagues were almost falling off their chairs when they heard this. ‘Can’t you do it yourself?’ Uhhh no… Actually, I know it’s not that difficult, but I always had an excuse ready to get out of it. And what a sweet mother! But my colleagues pushed me and said, ‘This would be a great topic for your blog, we’ll teach you!’ And they’re right… So gentlemen, pay attention and learn with me (because you definitely didn’t know all of this) 😉
Their title: Sewing Course for Beginners (always fun with those colleagues)
TIP #1 Get the materials!
So, let’s get started. We all have a drill, screwdriver, and hammer at home, but a sewing kit… well, at least I don’t have one. So, I went to the store. There, I received the first tip: Make sure you have the basic colors of thread at home. Black, white, brown, and blue are the most common colors. Okay, thanks! Additionally, a set of needles is indispensable for household sewing projects.
Let’s get to work…
- To start, match the color of the thread to the color of your garment.
- Use double thread to complete the task faster.
- Thread the needle so that there is an equal length of thread on both sides.
- Tie a knot at the end of the thread.
- Place the button in the right position on the fabric, paying attention to the other buttons on the garment.
- Insert the needle from underneath the fabric and through one of the buttonholes, pulling the thread tight after each stitch.
- Repeat this process multiple times to ensure the button is securely attached.
- Wrap the thread several times around the thread between the button and the fabric to strengthen the connection.
- Secure the thread and cut it.
Follow these tips, and you’ll officially be qualified as a button-setter!
TIP #2 Keep it in mind!
Naturally, you can’t be good at everything. And especially when it’s not as simple as sewing a button onto a coat or shirt, good advice (and thread) is valuable. After all, you have other things to do in your busy life! Of course, in that case, you can always rely on a professional tailor. They are ready to assist you and often provide high-quality work at a competitive price. In every Suitable city, we collaborate with the best specialists, so inquire with our colleagues in the shops about the tailors they work with, and they can provide you with all the information about the possibilities. I hope you found this explanation helpful. My button is now securely attached to my coat!
