About this Event
Some clothes just need more buttons! In this workshop, Tria Connell will take you through creating a buttonhole and sewing on a button both by hand and on a sewing machine. We will be using scrap fabrics to practice. If you have an article of clothing that is missing a button feel free to bring it.
Participants need to know how to thread a sewing machine on their own and do a basic straight stitch.
Machines are provided but if you’d like to bring your own please do! If you are bringing yours, please make sure it has the buttonhole attachment. These usually come with the machine. Let us know you’re bringing your own sewing machine and send a picture of it to [email protected]
