The first easy sewing project is how to sew on a button.\u00A0 You will need  Needle  Small pointed scissors  Thread  Button  Toothpick\u00A0  Tape Measure How to make Step 1: Find the correct position for the button. If you are replacing a button that has fallen off, you can usually see where it should be by looking for traces of the original stitching. If you can&amp;#039;t find where the original stitching was, use a tape measure to measure the distance between each button, so it correlates with the button holes.\u00A0 Step 2: Thread the needle, and tie both ends of the thread together in a small knot. Step 3: Thread the button onto the needle and begin threading through the buttonholes. For 2 buttonholes come up through one hole and down through the other until all thread has been used up and the button feels secure. For 4 buttonholes, do the same as with 2 buttonholes but being very careful to make sure you replicate the stitching either with two parallel stiches or two diagonal stitches. Step 4: Once you have finished the last stitch, come up underneath the button and wrap the thread around the button a couple of times. Finally take the thread back down inside the garment\u00A0 Step 5: Tie a tight knot in the thread and cut all threads from the needle. More on prima.co.uk...
