Have you ever wanted to learn how to make handmade buttonholes? If you answered yes, this class is for you.
There are several different techniques for making handmade buttonholes. During this class we will practice 3 slightly different buttonhole variations.
We will start class with a quick review of buttonhole size, buttonhole extension and buttonhole placement on your garments. Next, we will discuss which supplies you should use to make the handwork process easier. This will be followed by stitching as many buttonholes as time allows. Finally, we will troubleshoot any problems you may encounter along this process.
