Sewing a Button with a Thread Shank

Making a small thread shank will ease fastening and unfastening the button.

Materials

• Button
• Thread

Tools

• A straight pin or toothpick

Procedure

	Step 1: Start to sew the button on as usual, but before you pull the first stitch taut, slip in straight pin (or toothpick) between the button and the fabric.
	Step 2: Sew the button on as usual, making 4 or 5 passes through the holes.
	Step 3: Remove the pin and bring the needle up very close to the thread, but not through the button.
	Step 4: Wrap the thread around the slack several times. Then push the needle back to the wrong side of the fabric and knot it.
