Quick story, unreal timing: Lost my Mom, unexpectedly quick, to cancer a year ago. Few months after, I was beginning to travel more frequently for work and at a trade show I lost a button on my shirt and couldn't help but be emotional that I never got a chance (every day realization for so many things when grieving) for my Mom to show me how to sew a button. She has done so many times, and being distracted by every day life, I never took the opportunity to sit with her and learn. Just the other day I came across her sewing kit again, and it was difficult for many reasons. Now this video pops up in my feed today. So thank you for sharing sir.
Looks like a VERY broken-RIB-friendly video. My grandmother made me learn how to sew when my brother and I stayed with her for a few days once. I kicked and screamed in resistance, but she was adamant that I would NEVER forget it once I learned it, and I would never REGRET it, either. Right on BOTH counts. Wise ol' bird! Love ya' Grandma.
My grandma was a seamstress I'm 67 now she taught me me at 7 yrs old helped her make clothes from patterns Out of old flour sacks I had a pair of pants it had all purpose on the back and self rising on the front.
You can even go further with the overdoing. Tie a knot in the back every time the needle is back there. This way it doesn’t fall off when you wear through one piece of thread. You’ll have to wear through all of them and you’ll notice it getting loose before you drop it.
And PROhO sews buttons on without high-powered reading glasses and a thimble. I'm impressed. This guy has the eyes of an eagle and fingertips made out of adamantium. Salute!
Upholstery thread and needles is also good to have on hand. I just repaired the driver seat on my truck where it was starting to come apart at the seam.
Learn to sew other things too. Im usually having to fix my sons backpack. Like the shoulder straps detach or the bottom starts to come apart from scraping on the ground. AND for these heavily used things, i don’t use thread. I use dental floss. VERY strong!! Ive made things last much longer with floss. To a point where the material I’m sewing starts to degrade. Sewing is an extremely valuable skill and you don’t have to buy new clothes as often.
Floss is good but can stand out in a lot of instances. Try upholstery thread. Its quite strong and comes in a lot of colors. I used some to repair a mesh water bottle pouch on my Son's backpack last year. Its been great for those used and abused items that need something stronger than normal thread.
When I was 14, I used Dental floss & a motorcycle inner tube to create a tool pouch for the back of my dirt bike...complete with a buttoned closure flap. Use what you got, is my motto.
My folks never showed me how to do much of anything, but I always wanted to know how to do things, so therefore I did. It seems most of what I learned came naturally like sewing a button which this video affirmed. Bless you, brother.
Probably the most beneficial video I've ever watched! Ty! I wish I knew this 35-40 years ago. At 53 I've been half assing little sewing projects for years.
Yet ANOTHER skill that life hasn’t taught me, and I have neglected to teach my self. Thank you sir. As always, much appreciated. I love the channel. I love the variety. The comman man knowledge. The firearms, the sewing, the cabin, the agriculture. I’ve been seeing some hate on your newer topics (mainly fire arm related) and I suppose those people just are not our people. God bless you and yours, thanks again
This is great, Thankfully I learned to sew and hem young, but for a young guy or girl for that matter who wasn't exposed to this skill this is great and a really good skill to have, it will save you a lot of hassle.
Great Vid! every man should definitely know how so sew, I was doing basic sewing at a very young age. My Father taught me the importance! Thanks for all you do !
I’ve done a bit of needle work for work and hunting clothes. The six wraps around the base was the best thing I learned today. Abrasion resistance and keeps the button properly aligned. I have added this to my skill set. Thanks for the learning.
A while back when you got your expensive bar stool you went on a rant about wearing branded hats and such. Now you seem to be the king of branded hats 😂
Dearest Cody, One of many things I've learned over 35 years of being married to a women who is a seamstress, spinner, knitter, weaver and apparel design major, do not use a synthetic thread on a natural fabric. The difference in tensile strength greatly increases the likelihood of the fabric failing if something catastrophic happens like the button getting caught. It would be a shame to rip that fabric especially. Best Regards
Sewing is probably the most important skill for everyone to know. Especially buttons I do it a little differently, but that doesn't matter. Good video.
I did the same thing, got promoted the afternoon before an open wall locker inspection the next morning. My advantage though was that I first learned to sew in the Cub Scouts, and we had a cleaners/tailor right across the street from the Barracks, so I only had to sew on one set and everything else went into the cleaners/tailor shop and just had the ticket attached to a hanger in the wall locker.
Great video. I have sewn buttons back on before but you showed us some extra tips to make it more robust. Nice tip about using the needle to create some slack.
Impressive! The cross-needle spacing tip is state-of-the-art. After the final knot, you can run the needle inside and then out of the two layers of fabric and cut the thread where it resurfaces. That gets rid of the possibility of the tiny cut end of the thread working loose, and it looks really slick. To take out the old thread you need a seam ripper, a small covered spear that can have a milliion other uses. I have them in many survival packets.
Great video! Thank you for the tutorial Cody my useless father didnt teach me anything, I learned most of the things I know from my grandfather that served in the military and knew a lot.
A cigar box makes a great container for a sewing kit for PROhO. I suggest building it up quite a bit just because it lets you not only repair clothing, furniture, but also modify or make new gear. A project I'm working on is putting a chest strap and removeable waist belt on a day pack I use whenever I leave the house. Sewing kits are CHEAP right now because so many people just throw stuff away. Stack it deep.
I learned so sew as a little kid from my mom. Sewed my own buttons on when I was probably 7 or 8. Crazy times when there’s full grown adults who are just learning this.
🤘🤘My mom didnt let us move out before we knew how to do laundry and basic sewing like buttons. 😂 Sadly we all knew how to cook because my mom had to go back to work when I 6 so learning to cook you own breakfast and lunch became a necessity (my Dad's a traveling salesman for industrial and shop chemicals). Didnt mind so much as it made me self reliant once I was on my own.
My mom also made us take 2 years of homeck in high school to make sure any gaps she didn't think of got filled. I didn't mind. All the girls where there. 😂😂
I've been sewing and cooking since I was 13 thanks to my grandmother. Also been pickling and canning for years and years and years. Can also sustain myself for at least 6 months if necessary. Have a group of like-minded so we will do fine. And here's the shocker my friend, I am and have always been an East Coast man. There are way more of us than you know that are not little sissy boys and if called to task can meet the mark. Hope your ribs are better, been there done that and it's no fun
Got some forestry fire hose coming today and tomorrow! Building my fire kit little by little! Can't wait to get your breakdown of all things fire once that fire of yours goes away! Praying for you and your family safety!!
Some people forget that their clothing is part of their protective ensemble. It protects you from all sorts of stuff and inslulates you so you need to be able to maintain it, even when you have something like the Army log system behind you, because resup my be days away and you don't want to say get cold and lower your resistance or get sunbunred or insect bitten or whatever because you can't do your shirt up etc.
Threading a needle by eye? Impressive. I have to use a needle threader loop (astigmatism is bad; lol). Sewn plenty of buttons but never thought to mark the hole first by an X. Nice. lol :)
I was living at my parents house. Mom and dad left and went on vacation. I got a couple of new pairs of pants at work that were unhemmed. I need a pair to wear to work. So I hemmed that pair of pants. When mom came back from vacation she asked me how many pair of pant I had gotten at work. I told her, three. She found two and wanted to know where the other pair was. I told her I had hemmed them. Well, she goes on a mission to find those pants. When she did she was blown away with my quality work. She.was amazed at the job I had done
Any true PR0h0 should be proficient in repair sewing. It means a simple fix (maybe 30 minutes if it's a big tear) to not have to throw something away and keep using it. I hadn't heard of the needle trick to create the space/slack in the button thread, that's a neat one!
I bought a swiss made olive drab military sewing machine old af folds into small typewriter size but has full table that folds out. $31 dollars only part that isn't metal is the switch for the light. I didn't know how to rig it or run it. Learned how to do it on my own. Took it to michaels to see if they could show me anything I had not figured out. The old lady there couldn't believe it and the quality of my stitches, for not knowing anything. Now I kick ass at it. Made and repaired so many items it is one of my prize possessions wouldn't even know how to turn on a modern sewing machine.
I learned how to sew in middle school Home Ec, I'm sure that class is long gone and it's stupid they don't teach kids basic skills like that anymore. We also had a bookkeeping class in high school where you learned how to balance a checkbook, how to do simple accounting entries, basic finance ideas, etc. I volunteer teaching high school kids a personal finance course and they know absolutely zero about the real world.
I taught my son how to sew buttons and mend socks when he was but a wee lad (5?) One day he had a hole in his sock at his moms and just started to fix it. His mom was AMAZED. lol
Funnily enough, I sewed a patch onto a jean jacket for my brother last week. Weird thing is, we both went through Scouts and had patches to see on our uniforms, yet he never sewed his own like I did. Also learned how to hem pants myself by trial and error. Still have the pants to this day.

How’s your new button holding up
Learning to sew, cook, and fix your own stuff. Everyone needs this
Sew, cook, fix things, and iron/fold clothes

@@thesayxx kinda like riding a bike Something's stick with you forever
Glad to see I'm not the only one who "overdoes" buttons when sewing them back on.
But can he run with those scissors?
@Mrbfgray Cody can do all, even ride s dirt bike with wired on phone recording him RIDING with scissors.
You can even go further with the overdoing. Tie a knot in the back every time the needle is back there.
This way it doesn’t fall off when you wear through one piece of thread. You’ll have to wear through all of them and you’ll notice it getting loose before you drop it.
@@Mrbfgray my dad used to say. Your going to fall an stab yourselves in the belly
Amazing skills to thread the needle in 5 seconds. Proho is coordinated.
I was a fisherman,

Thanks for sharing! I remember my Mother taught me to sew when I was a young Lad, And she also taught me how to make a slingshot. Bless her Heart!
Here I am. 01:20 in the night. On the other side of the world, watching a guy sewing a button on his pants. I love this channel.
@jsmits8 same
Same here! Only it's 15:50
And PROhO sews buttons on without high-powered reading glasses and a thimble. I'm impressed. This guy has the eyes of an eagle and fingertips made out of adamantium. Salute!

From the front lines of the fire to a relaxed sewing tutorial. Act accordingly.
A man of his word a , ruly low effort upload but content non the less ..... thank you sir god bless

Floss is good but can stand out in a lot of instances. Try upholstery thread. Its quite strong and comes in a lot of colors. I used some to repair a mesh water bottle pouch on my Son's backpack last year. Its been great for those used and abused items that need something stronger than normal thread.
I've found that spider wire fishing line works great for sewing very strong repairs as well!
I favor sinew for sewing anything

Best button sewing video ever!
Very underrated skill no doubt. My grandmother taught me to sew years ago as a child.
Totally agree! My wife was so impressed
Seamstresses often rub their thread against bees wax which makes it much stronger and easier to slide around without knotting up.
Great job!
Fieldcraft is an essential skill thanks for sharing this little bit with us. Feel better soon
Hand sewing is a skill I’ve used a lot to fix kids stuffed animals, fix my pools vacuum net, and sew on buttons. Thanks home ec

@@richardhoard5951 Aha, now I know how & why I messed up. Thank you. You can now sew on your ProHo 'button' badge ;)
How’s the wildland fire coming on we want updates our prayers are with you. PROHO
It's out I'm guessing bc he stopped posting about it
He's C.I.A
The fire is about 11,300 acres and about 6 miles from his property.
@@Henrysmith-v1b or it's not threatening him to much
Thanks for the refresher. I hope you're feeling better.
🎉like that Grandma idea of using the needle as a spacer.
Would wind thread under the button before finishing off.
Sewing is probably the most important skill for everyone to know.
Especially buttons
I do it a little differently, but that doesn't matter.
Good video.
This one had me in stitches!! Thanks
Wrapping the shaft is a gamechanger!
Thanks Cody, been sewing buttons for years , but just learnt a few new tips.
Praying your healing up quick
Didn’t know how to sow until I joined the military. I sowed on my e4 rank when I got promoted. Underrated skill.
I did the same thing, got promoted the afternoon before an open wall locker inspection the next morning.

Shud have deployed overseas. We paid like 50 cents to have them sewn on. 😂👍✌️
“Underrated skill” 😂😂😂😂
Freaking E4 mafia man...
idk about underrated but perhaps under-appreciated?
Well that’s great timing. I’ve just put my trousers into the seamstress yesterday!
I'm glad he makes videos like this
More should know how to sew . Great video sir
We could go to the bay and eat some hay, whatcha say? We just may! Have a nice day.
Cody Ross and his happy buttons. This was awesome ;)
Thank you, beloved,
Great teaching!
Good to see you sewing your own skirt.

I dig the hair Cody! Mine looks exactly the same 😂
Impressive that you did that with a broken finger! 💪
Great video!
Great video
Thumbs up. Sorry if I sounded like an east coast man yesterday. I am one. Speedy recovery
Very pertinent info actually, my shorts lost the button last week.
Great work. Almost as great as my grandma did it.
Completely unrelated to the video but two watches goes crazy hard. Love it.
