Hand sewing 2 Sewing on a button

No sarcasm here: As a middle-aged male, I very much appreciate not only this helpful tutorial but the fact that you speak to me like a 4-year-old so I don't get frustrated and break things.

[@occultclassic7632]

Yeah this lady is a goddess for speaking like she does, otherwise I would have thrown these shorts away because I was getting frustrated as shit. And when I say thrown them away I mean I'd have burn the bastard.

No, I definitely needed the dolphin analogy to fully understand the video, without it I would have been floundering helplessly. She counted four stitches, I wish she could have help up the number of fingers equivalent to four. My only other observation would be I wished she really explained how to tell the difference between the top and bottom of an needle, another fish analogy may have sufficed to explain the correct orientation.

Thank you you're life saver! Prom is this weekend, and I haven't worn this vest since the beginning of the school year when I still would Wear my suit and trench-coat to cope with people leaving me. And the last time I wore it I lost another friend and angrily took off my vest and pulled the button clean off. But shortly after that I met this girl who gets me more than anyone I've ever met in a really long time, and I didn't feel like I needed the suit and trench-coat anymore, I didn't need to look good or be mysterious to feel "normal", or to stand out and hide at the same time. About a week ago I asked her to prom. I've never wanted to be a better person for anyone in the way I do for her, I asked her out in a traditional cheesy promposal which I'd never do, I made sure she was comfortable with going with me, I found a group and planned some things to help her enjoy the experience, like we're going to hang out with her family before so she doesn't feel like she's losing time or leaving anyone to be unseen or unnoticed. I asked my mom to make her a corsage, it's a dragon snap and teal flower silk corsage so that she could keep it forever, I'm not very good at making stuff like that lol. And I'm buying a seafoam bowtie so I can match my date, she loves teal, turquoise, and apparently seafoam. And I bought the tickets. It's not very evident because you don't know me personally but I wouldn't usually go this far for anyone. And I fixed my vest all by myself, well I guess not all by myself, cause I looked up how to fix a button, but I've never successfully done that before. She's my best friend, and I want to give her something as amazing as she is. And with your help I think I might be able to accomplish that. She's my favorite person in the whole world and she's special to me and because of you I'm gonna be able to make her feel genuinely special. Thank you!

This was not done correctly - you need to create spacing between the button and fabric to add a shank that actually keeps the button elevated above the fabric. The procedure in this video just sews the button flush with the fabric - the shank does nothing when sewn this way.
