How to Hand Sew a Buttonhole - VERY IMPORTANT SKILL in Sewing!

Hello friends! In today's video, I wanted to show you all how I do my buttonholes in sewing. Honestly speaking, it is one of my least favourite skills in sewing but nevertheless, a very important one to have. I had the help of my colleague, Charlie, who is very talented at doing these buttonholes! I hope you find this video useful. If so, please don't forget to give it a like, comment, share, and subscribe! Your support means the world to me!

Hello everyone! I forgot to mention that if you are using regular thread, you should use 2 to 4 strands to create a nice effect 😉

[@sharonwright4479]

Thank you for teaching us the hand buttonhole technique. Both of your workmanship was beautiful. 😊

[@jayneterry8701]

Love handwork buttonholes. Give it a try! 😊 Do a practice one first. ❤

[@SBVancouver]

I learned to do this in high school but I didn’t think anyone did it that way anymore. It just goes to show that professionals like you and your colleague are able to produce high quality results by leaning on your vast knowledge. Yet again another fantastic video. Thanks for such a great tutorial. ❤

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much 🥰 I certainly have learned from my colleagues as much as I learned at school. Cheers 😊

Thank you thank you. I just made a wool coat for my nephew and I need to do hand stitch button holes. You are AWESOME 🤩!!!

[@DowntownTailoring]

[@chilipeprsandi]

I love watching your videos! You and your colleagues are exceptional at your sewing. This will help me fix a few buttonholes on my coat. Thank you 💕💃🏻

[@DowntownTailoring]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@katietomasello490]

Beautifully worked button holes from you both !! I don’t have much call for this because I specialize in bridal, formalwear, incldg repurposing bridal, & costumes. But taught myself buttonholes… obviously not such a big deal on the machine but as you mentioned if you are matching a buttonhole or using a special button you must freehand it. I wish I had videos like yours when I practiced about 25+ till I knew it was perfect. Looking at a professional one & not satisfied til mine looked the same. You are helping so many people that want to learn this business & learn it well!! Great job!!❤

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for your kind comment! And yes, I mostly make buttonholes by hand except when I need to copy or when I custom make certain garments. Cheers! 😊

[@AllieSheffield]

As usual lots of great tips and tricks, thank you 😊 😊😍

[@DowntownTailoring]

Glad you like them! 😊

[@1st1anarkissed]

I can make button holes but they aren't very tidy yet and I did need your tips!

[@josefines.3333]

I laughed out loud at the ominous sound effect before the polyester thread. I love your humor. 😂❤

[@DowntownTailoring]

😁😁😁 the editor was having fun!!!

[@zsazsajones2440]

Wonderful

[@pktsize]

I have learned so much from your videos! Will you do a tutorial on how to fray jeans? ❤😊

Love your videos!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks for your support! ☺️

[@jennglow4647]

Cool 😀

[@priscillamaclean6074]

This is such a skill. I've had to create a buttonhole once only; however, I re-sewed it at least 4 times. Getting the thread to match the ooriginal buttonholes was a huge problem!

[@DowntownTailoring]

Oh yes! It is very hard 😪

[@maryhutto]

Thank you for showing how to make a beautiful properly-made hand buttonhole! I agree, it is a good skill to have. I learned how to make one in high school but haven't made one in a long time. I'm going to have to relearn this skill because it really elevates the look of a garment. Thanks again for the tutorial. ❤

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

[@TerenceBain-du3yg]

[@abigailpip112]

SO neat!!! I need a lort more practice

[@DowntownTailoring]

Like our parents would say: practice, practice, practice! 😊

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

I'm lucky enough to have a machine that will make these types of buttonholes. But sometimes I'll add some hand stitching in a metallic thread over the existing buttonhole just to make it a little "special."

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yessss, adding a little hand sewn detail makes it special 👌 😍 👍

[@weeshellita1]

Sus ojales son fantásticos

[@DowntownTailoring]

Muchas gracias 😊

[@scottsamples5574]

You’re cool

[@DowntownTailoring]

Thanks so much! 💕

[@weeshellita1]

Gracias por sus videos. El hilo del hojal es de torzal? Gracias

[@DowntownTailoring]

Este no es torzal pero puedes usarlo!

[@evelynferrer1322]

I do button holes but they look bad. Hopefully after this video I will do better 😊

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yesssss! 🥰🥰🥰

[@babiifrshj07]

I’ve always wondered: Why are buttons on different sides for men and women?

[@annahackman2539]

I have a vest I made that is unfinished because it needs buttonholes. I've been too scared to mark and make them.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Ooohhh! I'll be delighted if let me know you did it! You can practice first and keep in mind that they take a little bit of time. Happy sewing!!!
