How to make
Cut out both templates
Cut your fabric using the larger template as a guide and place the smaller template onto the cut fabric
Fold both the fabric and the template to ensure that they are centred
Fold each overlap and press with an iron
Take out cardboard template
Fold in half to find the middle, place a chalk mark towards the top of the fabric. This is where the buttonhole will be sewn. Place the button centrally on this mark, and chalk either side to gauge size
Using the sewing machine, sew a button hole over the chalk marks
Use a seam ripper to open the button hole. Rip from halfway on each side to ensure a controlled rip
Cut out both templates
Chalk around the pocket onto backing fabric, and chalk into the button hole to show where to sew button
Hand sew the button onto the backing fabric
Pin the pocket in place over the chalk marks
Using the sewing machine, sew the pocket onto the backing fabric using the chalk marks as a guide
Remove pins
