Sewing Patterns: How to Sew. Lingerie Bags by Lapin Vilardi. Discount Fabric - Apparel Fabric - Home Decor Fabric - Quilting Fabric - Save up to 70% - Fabric.com. Technique Tuesday: Buttonholes. Back when I was just starting to sew, button holes were....the....worst. The BANE of my projects. I avoided them any way I knew how. Velcro. Snaps. Zippers. When I finally realized I had to just get over my ignorance and learn how to do them right I was shocked and delighted at how easy they really were.

All of this happened at about the same time Brian bought a new sewing machine for me that came with a bunch of odd looking feet. In this video I show you how to use the special button hole foot but for those of you who only have a regular foot I also show you how to do it without one. To use this video you must have a machine that has a buttonhole setting. And if you have a technique that you'd like me to feature please leave me a comment. Alexis Meschi Sewing Designer.
