Line your button up on top of the small x, placing your button on the fabric. Starting at the underside of the garment, guide your sewing needle through the first hole of the button. After pulling the needle and thread through the fabric and buttonhole, angle your needle downward and pull it through the second hole. Your needle and thread should come out of the underside of the garment
5. Add a straight pin:
Before sewing any more stitches, place a straight pin or toothpick between the button and the fabric, beneath the button and first stitch. The pin will prevent you from sewing the button onto the garment too tightly
6. Continue sewing the button:
Guide your needle through the button and garment six more times or until the button is secure. Small buttons require less stitching than large buttons, so if your button is heavy, consider adding a few extra stitches to secure the button in place. On the last upward stitch, guide the needle through the fabric only (not through the buttonhole)
7. Remove the straight pin:
Pull the straight pin out from the bottom of the button, and wrap the thread around the underside of the button five or six times to form the shank
8. Secure and cut off the excess thread:
To tie off the thread, feed the needle through the stitches on the back of the fabric and then tie a knot by guiding the needle through the loop. Do this two or three times before cutting the thread.
