How the heck can I be in my 60's and not know how to sew a button on correctly? You've taught me a new skill again! Catherine (its hard for me to not call you Cathy) you are the best!
Oh my goodness! You took the words right out of my head. When I think of how long I’ve been sewing, over 60 years, it’s refreshing to learn not only a new technique but a better way of sewing.
I cannot believe that I too am over 60 and have sewn many buttons in my time, but have truly learnt something today. You are an amazing sewer and like many others on here, just love your videos 🥰🥰
I'm a 44 years old man, I have been sewing every now and then for years, ever since I was a kid and I would do an ok job, but today I learned how to sew a button like a pro following all the steps you showed and I'm amazed how good it looks! Thank you so much for this! I've really learned a very useful thing today and it will come in handy for the rest of my life! Thank you!
Flotopo, your comment makes me so happy! I just read it aloud to my family at the breakfast table and said that this is the reason I started my channel! Thanks so much !
@@CatherineSews, well,you surely helped me! I'm still so glad I learned how to sew a button like that and I believe there are many who could say the same thing I said. So, you sure are reaching the goal that you started the channel for! Thanks so much again!
I took way longer than you, but once I finished I felt completely relaxed and focused. Must be what knitting feels like, thanks for helping me fix my pants!
I've been sewing since I was 8 yrs old & that is the best way I've ever seen to sew on a button! Glad to learn how to do it better!!! Thank you for all your awesome videos. LOVE your ideas & easy to follow instructions!
Terrific! I have been sewing since I was 11 (am now 71) and I am learning lots of great things from your videos. I would love to see a video where you make an improve knit tunic with uneven hem using different knits? Thanks!
Thank you so much for such a helpful and clear tutorial. You’ve shown me that I’ve been sewing buttons for over 30 years WRONG! I’ve been putting the toothpick or match underneath the button through the stitches and it’s very difficult; how I wish I’d been putting it on the top where it is demonstrably far better. Well, you know what they say, it’s never too late to learn and I shall be doing it your far more sensible way in future. I’m enormously grateful, thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. Well explained and demonstrated!!! You helped rescue two pairs of shorts that haven't been worn in over a year and I refused to buy more, but I couldn't get my method to work.
Many many thanks! I had remembered seeing something about using multiple threads like this somewhere, so I did a youtube search and your wonderful video came up. Facing having to sew on 8 buttons to a jacket I altered for my grandson didn't sound like a fun morning for me, especially since I knew my little domestic sewing machine couldn't handle doing them. This was a breeze with your tutorial!
Thank you for this video! I am crocheting a Frog and Toad set (from the books) for my son’s 4th birthday, and the buttons on their jackets looked so messy. I found this video and applied it to the crochet stitches, and it looks so much better!
Another amazing video! Such a simple and clear explanation that completely blew my mind. Until now, buttons always felt like such a time consuming nuisance. Thanks a lot and I hope this video will get lots more views as it deserves! :)
"Faster, stronger, neater, and more professional": sounds like the list of all the things I need to be, according to my ex! LOL! Right on the...button. Hahaha
I have a linen dress and the button seems to be pulling the fabric and creating a gap, and also pulling the fabric awkwardly. Do I need a small button under, in the backside of the button panel? How can I fix this?
Yay!!! I did it!!! Thank you Catherine❤
This was so so helpful. Thank you for this video!!

Haha, no, YOU are the best. I absolutely love your support and your comments!! Thanks so much Mary Lou!!

The bigger eyed needle makes the difference.

I've been sewing for decades and just learned a better way to put on buttons. Thank you!!!
I took way longer than you, but once I finished I felt completely relaxed and focused. Must be what knitting feels like, thanks for helping me fix my pants!
No wonder my buttons often came off. Great camera angle and well verbalized! Thank you Sewing Queen Catherine!
I have sewed for many years- this is amazing, Thanks!
Best button tutorial I've seen!
thanks, needed this tonight for my shorts lost it's button this morning, now back on!
Starting the thread under the button and finishing it under the button,that’s a new one to me. Thank you so much.❤❤
Thank you. You helped my 18 year old sew his button back on his suit for his senior picture. 😊❤
Took me a couple of tries but I got it. Thank you for teaching me this
I have sewed for years and still sewing now and did not ever sew a button like this….it makes so much sense! Thank you!❤
Thank you sssssssooooooo very much for the information on the buttons. Enjoy your day and please be safe.

Sweet way to sew buttons on.
My mind is blown 🎉! Excellent tutorial Catherine! Thank you very much from this 67 years old lady.
It's worked a lot better than every other tutorial I've found for this. And your voice is really soothing. Thanks for the great advice!
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER! You explained this process so well and so calm. Thank you xx
Just finished my first dress shirt, and this really helps me get all 13 buttons attached. Thanks for the neat, strong and efficient method!

Wonderful. Thank you so much. I replicated what you did on 5 minutes. Thank you!

I loved that we quadrupled the thread so it took less time to sew the button on and liked that we hid the know. Thanks for the great tips!
I’m going to do this! I always thought the “wrap around“ was just to make the button more secure. Quadruple the thread?!--genius!
What a pro! Thank you, Catherine!

Excellent video. Another skill mastered.
Looking forward to trying this out tonight, I was using a single thread all my life. Took ages!
Thanks lady!! I can wear my favourite jacket again now
Perfect. Thank you!!
so thorough and professional❤😊

fixed my shorts, thank you!
Fantastic to hear! Good on you!
Great, I've been doing my buttons wrong for ages. Thanks for the info 😊
One word: WOW!!!
at 2:00 the execution of that knot technique is so stylishly done…. Could this be love that I’m feeling?
very helpful, just used this on some button fly pants that used sewn on buttons
So helpful! Thank you so much!

Awww, thank you. I'm so glad you found my channel!
thanks!

Right on the...button. Hahaha
Ya! I didnt mean it that way but it's good advice for all of us!
@@CatherineSews Hey, don't mind me. I'm just some wacko with a knife...
You are so awesome! Thank you for these videos.
Thank you that’s amazing fabulous tips xx
Thank you so much! just wish I’d found you sooner
Thank you!
you are such a lovely saint, thank you so much :)
Thank you for telling the length of thread to use. I never know how much thread to use.
I have a linen dress and the button seems to be pulling the fabric and creating a gap, and also pulling the fabric awkwardly. Do I need a small button under, in the backside of the button panel? How can I fix this?
Do you refer to your video as homework for your students? I would be thrilled to be a student of you 😊
❤
what a nice lady
also i think she's super pretty
I think I'm the only guy learning how to fix buttons and sew 😂
Why wouldn't we use a curved needle to handsew on a button? Wouldn't it be easier?
Does anyone know why she puts the toothpick in to create more space? Why do we need the extra space?
Hi, sometimes you need extra space if the fabric is thick, like on a jacket or coat.
What does your shirt say?
@@DukeTrana Je suis moi = I am me 😍
@@CatherineSews, you certainly are
Ok, if you are a beginner come back to this AFTER you actually learn to hand sew a button
🙃😘
To complicated
I wonder if she would make a good wife and mother.
