Tutorial: Buttonholes when the button is too big for your automatic buttonhole foot

August 31, 2012 by Anne Weaver

Carmel from Solomon was in love with the automatic buttonhole feature on her new sewing machine.  That is, until she needed to sew an oversized buttonhole.  The special foot could only accommodate buttons up to a certain size.   Not to be outdone by her machine, she figured out a workaround and she shares the tutorial with the rest of us.  Get the tutorial.

Sewing Pattern – Paper Bag Pants Pattern

The paper bag pants pattern is a favorite of casual chic dressers. It is a super easy project perfect for sewing over the weekend. If you pair it with a cardigan and booties, vans shoes or sandals it is sure to become your favorite outfit when you are hoping to look cool but not overdressed.

Two pockets in the front will ensure you can carry a few things like your phone and wallet.

The elastic waistband gives you room for a curvy bum or gives shape to a flat one. Two pockets in the front and a belted waistband to tie your pants around your waist, tapered legs that fall just above your ankles round up this very comfortable design.
