Introdução

Ir para o passo 1

Replacing a button is one of the most common clothing repairs. Fortunately, it's also one of the easiest. This guide will show you how to reattach a standard four-hole button with a needle and thread. In this guide we're using contrasting thread for visibility, but when it comes time to do your actual project, you'll want to use thread that matches the color of your fabric.

Get a length of thread—about an arms-length should be more than enough.

Let the needle slide down the thread until it hangs at the center. You should have two equal lengths of thread on either side of the needle.
Tie the loose ends of the thread together.

Passo 5

You have sewn in the button. Now you need a knot to keep the button in place.

What helps after the last step 14 is to wrap the thread around and around a few times underneath the button itself (binding all the threads together) and making one last pass through the cloth before the final knot. This makes the repair much more durable.

The wrapping below the button is not only more durable, but is actually frequently used when replacing buttons on blazers, sport coats, and the like as a protection from friction as the garment moves and shifts while being worn.

Wrapping the threads underneath the button to create a shank is useful for coat buttons where the fabric is thick and you don’t want the fabric to pucker. As noted, it adds durability to the button attachment. On a shirt collar, as seen here, it would create too much bulk where you need the button to lie quite flat, so this method is quite sufficient.
