This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in textiles.

For this Badge Bit, you will sew on a button! Preferably, you'll be mending an article of clothing, but that's not essential.

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
  -  your button, thread, and the cloth you will sew the button onto
  -  the process of sewing on the button
  -  your button sewn on, both from the front and the back


When sewing on a button, tieing a few knots during the process keeps your button on your garment. If a thread breaks, the button doesn't fall off. Going through the button more times than is shown in these videos is also recommended.

Maybe not the right place for this.

Sew A Button

Included is a video of my sewing machine using the  buttonhole feature to sew the button. I set it to the end of the buttonhol stitch, which makes the needle go back and forth without moving the feed dogs to advance the fabric. I hand turn the machine to slowly line up the button with the needle's movement. Not every button works with this method but it did in this case.

After I cut the strings from the machine, I just tie a few knots before cutting them off.

Hi Nicole. Thank you for this opportunity to do yet another BB in Textiles! I'll go looking for something that needs a button ...

I've added to the requirements that it has to show the process as well as the before and after picture.

Anything submitted prior to this post is grandfathered in on the old requirements.
