Sewing on Buttons: Great Links That Will Show You How!

Sewing on buttons is something that everyone should know how to do. Chances are at some stage a button on your favourite garment will pop off when you least expect it. Plus, often when the button pops off it is just when you need to wear the outfit and therefore you will need to repair it in a hurry. Taking the piece of clothing to a tailor just to have the button replaced would be very expensive!

Sewing on buttons is not something that I have to do very often so I found that the following links were a great refresher for what to do. They would also be very helpful for anyone who has not replaced a button before.
