I have been sewing for over 30 years. My mother bought me my own first sewing machine when I was 14. I have sewn everything from simple panel skirts and harem pants to a robe a la française. But tonight I made my first buttonhole, two actually, all because my daughter asked me to sew her a dress.
Buttonholes always seemed hard, your video made it easy. Thank you!
Since you sew a robe a la française, may I ask if sewing historical garments more difficult than modern garments? Or are they pretty much the same?
@@marzzarella2770 depends on the item. The robe a la française was difficult due to the pleating, gatherings, and shear amount of fabric, let alone the detailing. (More pleating and layering of the cuffs.) But then if I was sewing medieval peasant garb it would be significantly easier.
Modern garments can be just as difficult or simple. A basic shift style sundress is pretty straightforward, a few seams, a hem, and tacking down edges. On the other hand, an evening gown can be increasingly elaborate with layering, various fabrics that pull differently, and various gathers.
It really depends. If you want to see historic garb being made, there are lots of UA-camrs out there. Abby Cox is a good one, as is Bernadette Banner.
@@KellyDVance Thank you. I've been planning to learn how to sew and also planning on sewing historical garments after a few years. Although I think that sewing historical garments takes a lot of research. I just wish I'm motivated enough to learn about it.
I've been itching to sew a regency dress myself but I don't really have the skill set to do it for now.
@@marzzarella2770 start simple. Allow yourself time to make mistakes. Keep a seam ripper handy. Magnets are great for picking up needles and pins. And do projects you will enjoy, otherwise it becomes yet another chore.
i guess it is kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online ?
The first "button hole, how to" video that actually worked for me to learn by. Thank you 🤩.
Prettiest seamstress I ever saw. Excellent video too; now I know how to make button holes.
I have never done a button hole, your video is very clear and easy to understand, so glad it was not rushed like so many that get posted.
Thank you for the large demo to see!! Seeing it step by step was so helpful
I wish you could share which settings you used.
Thank you for everything this really helps me as man altering my suits
You made it look very easy!
I love Fleece Fun, free patterns and ideas and helpful stuff like this. And remember, velvet is pretentious, fleece is fun.
I grew up really scared of buttonholes cos my mom would get upset when she made them. Today I'm going to make 6 ahhh! Thank you for this helpful video. I feel like it could happen!
I am confused
@@maritzasanchez6520 same lol
When I first made a button hole I didn't know mg machine had a setting for it so I just used a zigzag stitch. Its fine so long as I keep the button closed and don't look too closely at it.
Helpful and wholesome, my interest in anatomy is intensifying.
Thank you! This was really helpful. It helped to go through the steps before hand, and great tip with the pins and seam ripper! Thank you!
Thank u, always stayed well away from the dread that is button holes. U gave me the confidence to complete it and Bingo winner winner chicken dinner 🌸
Thanks for giving me an insight of how to proceed 😊
Awesome tip about the pins! Thanks!
I'm so glad I came across your channel. Thank you for breaking this down. I will try my button hole tonight. I have always scared away from it.
Sounds so easy.Will be my first attempt but not as worried now,you made it seem so easy .Thanks

Super helpful thank you!
Thanks very helpful
Thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you very very much, this is very easy.
Excellent I did exactly as you said very helpful, to the point, and very clear I’m an absolute beginner x😅
thank you!! helped me finish my bonus daughters dress!!
Yay ! You’re welcome ☺️
I'm making my first and for garment from scratch, and it's going to be a cute little pink jacket! (Hand stitched of course, I don't have an electric stitch thing) I wanted to put gold buttons on it (not real gold of course haha I'm poor) and I'm a little bit apprehensive of just going in Bear balls without knowing what I'm doing. I do have another jacket that I am using for reference, so I had a feeling this was the direction you were going to go in. but I am so happy for the clarity!
Thank U so much I like that U put the pins in. I want to make a blouse I’m trying to find woman simplicity pattern blouse that button down the back. Do you know of a pattern like that that I can get.
Thank you!
This is very good thank you
I have always trouble with the seams when working with thicker fabric. Can u help me there? Thanks a lot.
This was really helpful thanks 🥰🥰🥰
You're welcome!
Thank you.
Did you make your outfit? It looks so awesome! The print looks so unique! I love a blue and yellow combination 😊
This was so helpful as I am indeed a brand new beginner with buttons! Thank you so much! I do have a quick question: where specifically do we align the fabric to begin the first bead. I couldn't really tell how you placed yours.. thanks again.
Hi! I line it up with the top of the line I drew. Since the machine starts with the left bead first I make sure that the line I drew is slightly to the right of the needle. Hope that makes sense! Best of luck!
This was a great help thanks for this video. 🙂
I WISH I had my owner’s manual! My machine is one I inherited from my sweet childhood neighbor, and unfortunately, it doesn’t have the owner’s manual, and the machine is an older one that doesn’t have a manual online. 😩 It’s an incredible machine, but I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea how to do anything more than basic stitching!
Oh no!
Thanks to the internet, many manuals are available online, have a look, even for old machines.
7:06 for me for future reference because I forget it's so easy 😅
What are you changing on the machine to tell it to move to the next part of the buttonhole?
Any advice for me does not have the setting for button my sewing machin.
what setting do you use on your machine
Hi!!!! Funny story, I got this singer home machine in May. By August I had to do my first button hole, I did a practice button hole following a video of my sewing machine and it came out perfect. I then get my project and start the button hole and I ruined 😠 ruined it. Not sure what happened but I was so frustrated. Thanks for your video.
How come I can make a test buttonhole but I can't make a buttonhole on my project. Is it possible that 2 pieces of fleece is to thick??
What does it mean to do a stabilizer for jersery fabric?
Nikatronixx It means use an iron on interfacing such as Pellon.
Where do you set your tension?
How does the machine know where to stop and go the other way?
Yes I’m scared to do it but I also want to do it on a beenie long story
Ma'm. I don't know how to use sewing machine even if I have it.
Also didn't see settings on machine used
Can you sew a buttonhole onto fleece?? And how would you do this?
You absolutely can. Using a stabilizer is a must for fleece since it has a stretch to it. Be sure to use a stabilizer and try a test before. also make sure that tension is right - you might need to loosen it a little more because fleece is thick.
This machine does NOT have a buttonhole foot?
Take a shot every time she says “buttonhole”
Ive lost my owners manual 😬😭
Melissa Ockey you could probably find a copy online by googling the make and model of your machine
i usually make my buttonholes by hand but now i want to fo it by machine because i’m making a jacket with 100 buttons on it
Do you need a buttonhole cutter to make the hole?
It’s an handy tool but a seam ripper with the pins (like I use in the video) will work fine.
You are so pretty❤ you don't need to keep covering your r-face with your hair-
I have a fear of making button holes
.." *BUTT'N'HOLE* "... X,D
Drink everytime you hear "buttonhole"
I know you're the video's star, but what you're doing is far more important. What should you do? Put a dark cloth under the machine and use close-up shots of the work.
Hi David, this is one of the few videos that I didn't film myself. This was done by Allfreesewing.com in their studio. I didn't direct the video or have control of the camera shots. But thanks for the suggestions.
What a babe😱💓💓💓
Very nice video. Seems like you have a machine with an automatic button holer. Would love a video with a machine that only has zig zag. Beautiful outfit and appearance, but when teaching, it might be best to tie those beautiful locks of yours back so you don't have to keep flipping and distracting.
why didn't you show people a good recommended tension and also how you got the stitch to make the button hole. it was almost as if you were teaching yourself. you have beginners on here you have to be mindful. I came to your page because your room looks so professional, I would think that your demo was too. Thanks for nothing
Lol buttonholes
