Follow these tips to help you with your mending so you can attach a replacement button back on a coat or add new buttons to your garment.
1. Gather your basic sewing tools:
Button sewing requires a few tools. You’ll need a needle, thread, and a pair of small scissors—these sewing supplies are standard in sewing kits.
2. Thread your needle:
Work your thread through the eye of the needle. Instead of leaving a tail and tying a knot at the end of the single thread, feed the thread all the way through the needle so that the two ends of the thread are equal in length, creating a double thread. Pull a few inches of thread and wrap the ends of the thread tails around your index finger a few times and gently roll off with your thumb to create a knot tying the two ends of the thread together.
3. Choose a spot for your button:
Locate where you want to place your button, making sure it is on the right side of the fabric. After selecting a spot for your button, thread a small x to guide your needle. Starting on the back side of the fabric, feed the threaded needle up through the fabric, and sew a small x as a placeholder for where the button will go. The ends of the x should be approximately where the buttonholes will be.
