Having sewn a bunch of hand-stitched buttonholes this year, I can honestly say, her level of regularity and precision is incredible. My buttonholes are quite functional, but still an irregular mess with their appearance. Compared to Izzie, anyway. She remains my hand-stitching heroine.

After struggling with buttonholes on my machine, I turned at last to KZfaq to try to learn how to make them proper, by hand. You lot caught my eye because I’ve got fam in Lancashire. (I’m in California now, so you’re brilliant to listen to, I must tell you.) No surprise: this is the best lesson I’ve had. I had better get started on my one hundred, then.

Have to say this lady doe's stunning work. My Nana was taught in England at Savol Row. And also my uncle was taught there as well. So it was only natural I did an apprenticeship over here in New Zealand at a place called Austin Browns.Right now I'm into crafting and quilting. So love to sew.And this lady is so very very Talented and a joy to watch. Could watch her all day. HAPPY SEWING TO YOU ALL.

👍Absolutely terrific demo & tutorial. Thank you. 💞 Seeing her do the handmade button hole took me back to my childhood. My mom was a seamstress and made her own clothes and forced me to do the same. I spent a lot of hours helping her. Practicing handmade button holes was one of those things I had to perfect to make her happy and I came to enjoy it actually. 💞

Thank you for taking the time to share with us how to do these things. That is absolutely beautiful! This reminds me of learning to sew from my mother. She had beautiful hand sewing technique, as well. One of my first garments was a lovely Vogue jumper with three large buttons down one side. To this day, I remember watching her do the buttonholes for me, and they were as exquisite as any embroidery ever done. Such perfection! I see the same perfection here! I now want to relearn how to do true buttonholes, after watching this! Absolutely beautiful!!!

Much prefer sewing buttonholes by hand, they seem to last longer, but have never heard of gimp before. Must look for it but the advice that the cotton/silk always goes clockwise around the needle will be a great help. Mum still has, and uses, the lump of beeswax her father used, will remember to iron the thread afterwards as this wasn't taught in school, though they spent loads of time teaching how to on a machine. Many thanks for a great tutorial, and found just as I am sewing a winter coat or three. Perfect timing.

Thanks for posting this. I thought I'd have a go and as luck would have it, the day after I watched this first I found a punch in the charity shop. It did the trick but as you say it needs a backing to avoid 'exit wound'. I couldn't find any gimp in the shops but I practised using some thin rope cord out of old boot laces I was replacing. I found some gimp since on ebay but it's vintage, so might be degraded. It's going to take me forever to do 100 buttonholes.
