How to Sew A Button

Hey, it may seem simple but sewing on a button is one of those basics you never ask, “How?” because you’re supposed to know.

So, for all those out there who panic when their son’s button falls off his Shabbos coat, we got you. And even if you’ve been sewing on buttons for years, you might pick up some technique to make it neater, and your buttons stronger. Enjoy!

What other basics would you love to learn how to do? (It’s ok to respond anonymously!)

Short cut for sewing s button:
The process is the same as what’s shown in the video. The only difference is, before you thread the needle, fold the thread in half so now it’s two threads with a bend on one end. Threat it now through the needle and pull it through, so now you have four threads together and make a knot. When you go through the holes with your needle, you only have to do it for a total of two times instead of four times because you already have so much thread going through it each time. I hope that this is clear. It saves so much time!
