Eleven. Eleven ways not to make buttonholes and (finally) one way TO make buttonholes. The trick is sheerweight fusible interfacing and not the heavier woven I usually use (which is what I grabbed first because I had so many scraps lying around.) I’m not sure if I ended up at the Chanel method that several folks mentioned but I wound up digging up the Butterick “The Art of Dressmaking” book my mother in law gave me and the directions for dual-sided bound buttonholes do in fact work great even if it took me a few tries to figure out what they wanted me to do. #sewing #quilting #stargazerChoreCoat #handmade #buttonholes
