How to make
Thread the needle. Double thread the needle for extra strength. You can use a threading tool to make this process simpler. Pull through so the needle is in the middle of the length of thread. Tie a knot at the two thread ends so that they are joined.
Place the button onto the fabric and hold. Begin to sew the button from the back of the fabric
Run the stitch through the opposite buttonholes several times
Move the stitch over to the adjacent buttonholes
Run the stitch through the opposite button holes several times. Try to sew into the same holes as this will create a neat finish
Slide the needle down so that it goes underneath all stitches
Loop the thread around to form a knot. Pull tight, and cut using scissors
Check that the button is secure
