Let’s be honest—sewing buttons by hand can be tedious, especially when you have multiple buttons to attach. But did you know you can sew buttons with your sewing machine in just a fraction of the time? This game-changing tutorial from Heather Handmade walks you through the simple, step-by-step process of using your machine to get secure, evenly-stitched buttons without the hassle.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced sewist, this guide will help you master the technique. You’ll learn how to set up your sewing machine properly, position the button without breaking a needle, and make sure your stitches are strong enough to last through countless washes and wears.
If you’re ready to speed up your sewing projects and say goodbye to sore fingers, check out the full tutorial here: How to Sew a Button with a Sewing Machine.
Is there a way to get a copy of your pattern for the Black Sheep from Melly and me? My maiden name is Lamb and we are having a craft contest for our family reunion. I would love to make these adorable sheep. If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.

Oh, that would be so cool to do for your family reunion! I don’t think you can order directly from Melly & Me, but their blog does give a list of retailers who carry their patterns. I found the Black Sheep pattern at Pink Chalk Fabrics, but I’m sure there are plenty of other retailers who also carry this particular pattern. –Anne

The deadline for entry has passed and the free pattern already given to the winner. However, you can still purchase this pattern. Check your favorite independent fabric stores.
I purchased the Sheep Pattern from Clotilde (clotilde.com); it’s adorable!
