Buttonholes are the bain of my existence in sewing! I LOVE buttons but I hate hand sewing in the button holes and loops. My new machine has an amazing button hole attachment... but that's for another post. I tried an interesting technique that **mostly** worked. I should have spent a little more time lining the loops up, but that's one of those cases of sewing at 11 pm when you are tired and trying to get things done. Result: Uneven or smaller than needed button loops/holes.

Technique Materials

- glue stick - ribbon or material for loops to create the button loops - pins - thread used with the help of your sewing machine
