You know our country used to teach these invaluable lessons, priceless and timeless as they are, in home economics... But then somewhere along the line we became consumers of goods, no need to fix when we can buy. I prefer a more realistic approach to consumerism. I like to buy people's inventions and their neat things, but I also like to hang on to my thinks and, as you said it, enjoy them all over again and give life to a favorite pair. I enjoy this part as much as the purchasing part. Thanks a bunch for this video. The world needs you.
Thank you! I didn't know why my belly button was irritated and painful until I felt the edge of the inside button which was extremely sharp! I was going to try to sew a patch over it and then decided to check UA-cam. Now I will just remove and replace with a sewn on button on ALL my Lee jeans. Thank you again!
Thank you so much! This was a complete mystery to me! I didn’t even know this was an option! Fantastic!
You're so welcome, glad to help!

Hi! Question, does removing the button damage the button? In wondering if 8 can preserve it for other jeans
Благодарю.
I have a related but very specific question. I want to make a set of buttons for a pair of jeans I am having made to measure. I want to make the buttons out of silver. I'm a bench jeweler so forming the metal isn't a problem, but I don't know what winds up holding the front and back together. You mention a plastic part. Is that located in the shaft in the front piece? My initial thought to just make silver fronts compatible with standard backs. Any guidance you can provide would be most welcome. Thanks for the video.
Thanks
Kay what if your buttons came all together right away and you have to separate them?
Awesome, thanks Megan, saved me some money, don't need to throw away some jeans I've got with damaged button fly.
So glad you found it helpful!
@@MeganNielsenPatterns 👍 😉
If the button is loose should we put new one or just press it harder with hammer?
Aftee you remove the metal button can you put it together again?
What if I wanna tighten / reduce the waist size to fit better? Can I just add a button at the right waist size?
Thank you ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Glad you found it helpful!
If u wish to make the waist looser a bit. How can u put a brand new button? Thank you
That's a good question - if you move the button over slightly then you can gain a little bit more ease in the waist. However keep in mind that your fly won't sit as flat anymore an it may end up putting more pressure on the zip :)
I recently lost the button on a pair of chinos. Can I use this method on non denim pants?
You can absolutely use this method on any garment that has a shank button :) Good luck!
Thank you, what if the button hole is not in good shape? I bought some used jeans and it seems like the button went through the hole, leaving a hole way too big. Should I just put a patch inside so that the button has something to attach to?
Hi Lola! That is a frustrating situation! My strategy would be to do as you described - adding an interfaced patch to the inside to strengthen the waistband and provide something for the new button to attach to. Good luck!
My button keeps bending instead of getting tacked in when I hammer, any advice?
i wish i could salvage the buttons
How do u replace it if the Jean is not in good condition. My button is in good shape it’s just falling out the hole??
That's a great question! In that case I would remove the button, sew an interfaced patch of fabric on the inside of the waistband to stabilize and bridge the hole - then reinstall a new button :) i hope that helps!
I want to replace the button so that it will fit me a little tighter. Can I reuse the button or do I need a new one?
Wondering this too. edit: read another reply she left and the button does indeed break when taking it off, you need a new button.
But what if the rod on the screw keeps bending to the side? I've had this happen with three of them ;-;
Any tips for dealing with a hole that is bigger? I got my child a pair of overalls, which uses a plastic button behind a false rivet, instead of the typical jeans button and buckle. I want to replace it, but the rivet that is in place for looks seems to have a larger hole than this.
That's a tricky situation! If it was me i think i would remove the existing button/false rivet and then add an internal patch of denim to reinforce the area and fill in the hole. That way you have a blank slate to work with :) Good luck!
Will the old one be ruined or can I reuse it
Hi Maisie! Unfortunately no you won't be able to reuse it, this will break the old button. You'll need to buy a new one to reattach :) Good luck!
I want to reuse a buttom, how do i remove and reuse??
is there a way to take off the button without breaking it?
Unfortunately I haven't found a way :(
Thank you, it helped!
I am too fat for my jeans please help
My button would not separate and the back just got stripped by repeated attempts.
