I'm about to drop a pile of them off at a seamstress to do. I bet it would take $10-$20, max, to put the buttons on. Sometimes it's worth it for peace of mind alone!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-27404205245663563402014-03-03T21:20:46.397-05:002014-03-03T21:20:46.397-05:00Interesting, thanks for the tips.

Maybe I should have a real seamstress put them on!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-24585251090593886742014-03-03T21:18:02.460-05:002014-03-03T21:18:02.460-05:00Button-sewing tips for next time: leave some slack...Button-sewing tips for next time: leave some slack between the button and the coat so there will be less tension on the thread when you button the coat (ie, it won't be so right). When you've nearly finished, bring the needle through the coat but not the button (halfway up) and then wrap it around the thread a few times. This will save wear and gear on the button holes themselves. Unwrapped thread can act like a wire saw on button holes, especially on clothing you wear while active. The coat looks terrific, though!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-39281256693157922852014-03-03T14:18:56.814-05:002014-03-03T14:18:56.814-05:00LOVE the buttons!
