Sewing Buttons On

fooby · 24-10-2011, 01:02 AM

Hey, I need help, how do you go about sewing buttons back onto trousers? THEY KEEP FALLING OFF

Reilly · 24-10-2011, 01:41 AM

I would buy new trousers.

fooby · 24-10-2011, 01:57 AM

That would be silly though, when you pay £30 for trousers you expect the buttons not to fall off within 2 weeks, but as they included spare buttons, I should probably try sewing them on

You have to take the loop through the holes in different directions to secure it and then knot the hell out of the thread.

Yeah pretty much this.

fooby, if you think you're doing this and it's still not working, you should post a front/back pic of your sew job so we can better advise you.

Dude I just sewed together my costume and I'm 15

but seriously it's hard...but that's because I haven't done it in 3 years

After you "loop" each hole, make sure the line is tight by pulling it orelse you get excess thread and they can undo you buttons and this other stuff

If you spend 30 squid on trousers and they fell apart within a few weeks, go back to where you bought them from. Unless it was the back of a van.

It's okay you'll learn to trust us. Hey do you want an Ipad?

86Timewarp · 26-10-2011, 01:13 AM

No thanks, my teacher is buying me a new iPod Touch.

Long story short, my band teacher found it and gave it to the assistant band director hoping it was soneone's in band. The assit. band. dir. forgot who he gave it too and it never showed up.
