ID: 141911

Description: This is a simple repair of adding a two-hole...

Steps:

1. Find a thread color that matches the fabric you are sewing the button on to.

2. Loop the thread through the eye of the needle.
3. Tie a small knot around the eye of the needle with the thread.
4. Make sure the knot is tight!

5. Thread the needle through the fabric from the inside out.
6. Tie a knot at the end of the thread after pulling most of it through the fabric.

7. Sew the thread in a small 'x' where you would like to place the button.
8. If you don't want to sew, then mark the spot with a white fabric marker.

9. Place the button over the small stitched 'x' or fabric marker spot.
10. Thread the needle through the left hole of the button from the inside out.
11. Pull the needle and thread all the way through the fabric.
12. If you can't find the hole of the button, thread the needle through the fabric first and then through the button hole.

13. Cross the needle over to the right hole of the button.
14. Thread the needle all the way through the fabric.
15. This step creates the first stitch.

16. Repeat Steps 6-7 four to five times, until you have a secure button.

17. Create a thread shank on the inside of the fabric by looping the thread around a stitch.
18. Pull the thread all the way through the hole until it is tight.
19. Repeat this 2-3 times.
20. Tie a knot after the final stitch to secure the stitches.

21. Use fabric scissors to cut off excess thread.
