Sewing a New Button

Sewing a New Button

One time I went to the seamstress to have her sew on a button that was coming loose. She let me watch and explained how it was done, and didn't even charge me anything for it! Mrs. Turtle and I have become very good customers. :-)

I just found a video that shows a very similar method. There is a difference, though, as the seamstress stuck a thin stick between the cloth and the button to ensure a shank of the appropriate depth. That is left as an exercise for the reader.
