This tutorial worked for me. When I'm not working as a lawyer I like restoring antique and vintage uniforms. Just the right balance between friendliness and professionalism.
I had no idea how to fix a button that came loose on a lace shirt. By chance I found this video on how to create a shank and it was more helpful than a google search coming up with normal ways to sew a button.
Thank you for this informative tutorial! I bought a $400 nice cashmere coat for 90$ and it was missing 12 large buttons with a shank and only 2 of the original remained! I knew the usual simple up and down method without a shank wouldn't work for a coat like this and didn't know what it was called just that it was different from the method that I have employed previously. Now I can go and sew my replacement buttons with confidence that I will be doing it the right way so there is some give in the buttons and they wont pop off from strain.
So helpful! I like how the overcoat buttons had shanks “created” for them by the person who sewed them on the garment. And the way you knotted the thread at the end works perfectly
Thank you! I knew there was some trick to having the buttons not pucker and pull the fabric through the button hole. I can see where a thick fabric may require even a thicker diameter helper to make the slack.
Thank you for the video! Can you also show us how to sew a shank button for Morning Coat front button? The shank is longer than the shank of a jacket button, about half an inch.
When we make morning coats, we still use the same length shank in order to keep it clean-looking. The shank should be just slightly shorter than the thickness of the jacket where the buttonhole is. Or do you mean that you want a "chain" with one button on each end of the chain and a buttonhole on each side of the jacket? For a chain (if using thread instead of actual metal chain), it's much like crocheting, we just recommend using a thick, nice thread so it looks luxe and lovely.
@@hjamesayashi1590 We don't have a video for it (yet?) but if you search for how to sew a "swing tack" that's the technique that we'd use for the case you mention.
Some of both! We want it to look clean and nice on the inside of the jacket but also keep all layers together, so our first stitches do not go all the way through, but we make sure to get a few stitches by the end that do catch all layers.

I have sowed a many of buttons, but I never knew any of these tricks. It is amazing how much I learned today. Thank you!
Love your technique on knot tying, your clear, simple instruction. I also love your outfit!
Ha - thank you!

Your math is very professional and useful. I wanted to say you thank you for this lessons 🙏
Definitely for beginners so they won’t do it wrong from the beginning!

Great, simple to understand video. I have to replace some ugly buttons on a sport jacket I just purchased and really want to thank you, dear.

I don’t know anything about sewing but your rings look so good 😊Memo
Terrific work, thanks x
Just about to sew 13 buttons on a blouse so this excellent tutorial is very helpful!
Very clear instruction and well presented. As a musician I need to do occasional running repairs when away from home, this will help me - thank you.
Now I know how this is done for an overcoat! Thanks for the video.
Many thanks ,I never really thought about there being a proper way to do it but will definitely try your way
Excellent tutorial, thanks!
Awesome! Thanks a lot!!! :D

I am a PRO now! Thank you!
congrats you hit 1k subs!!!
Thank you, I have now successfully sewn a button back onto my jeans. Would never have known to use an implement to help create the shank 🙂
Thank you. This was very helpful!
Great information! Thank you.

@@biasbespoke Yes its like a chain with buttons on either end, do you have a video to show how to do the chain? Many thanks in advance.

Why is it for demonstration
Dark fabric dark thread
Dark is used.

good video. do you sew through all the layers of a jacket, or just the top layer?
Some of both! We want it to look clean and nice on the inside of the jacket but also keep all layers together, so our first stitches do not go all the way through, but we make sure to get a few stitches by the end that do catch all layers.
This beautiful lady looks like a white female Chris Rock
I feel like I'm watching an episode of Benny Hill.
Thank you for making this video, please wear a top though for the Catholics among us.
Not for beginners.
buttons are for beginners! straight running stitches and buttons are what I learned to sew first when I was 9ish.
