How to Make Thread Loops for Buttons or Belt Loops- Vintage Sewing

How to make thread loops for buttons. This technique can also be used for belt loops.
This tutorial is demonstrated with the Harriet blouse pattern, but many vintage and modern patterns call for thread loops.
This technique can also be used for “swing tacks”, which is a vintage technique that can be used to hold belts or skirt pleats in place.

I had a lot of ideas about how to add an extra button to my jacket. I'm glad that I discovered this before I tried any of them. This is brilliant! Thanks.

Its crocheting without a hook, elegant solution. Thank you for teaching the technique. Just curious, did the vintage instructions use a button hole stitch around a length of thread?

[@wearinghistory]

You’re right! I didn’t think of that! It totally is crocheting. Yes, the original was buttonhole stitch over a length of thread

I don’t have the patterns in the beginning available yet, but may make reproductions in the future. The blouse pattern I’m sewing in the video is available on Etsy. Http://wearinghistory.Etsy.com
