I was thrilled when Natalie asked me to do a Guest Post for "Marigold's Loft!" back in 2013! That's been a while. She stopped working on her blog in 2017. Hoping everyone finds this tutorial useful for their next sewing project that requires a button loop or a hook/snap.
I have no idea how I came about this method back in the 60s or 70s. I think I made it up with crocheting in mind, because I did not enJOY stitching on loops that came with the hooks, and I definitely did not like to make button holes even with my machine. The loops work great especially on doll/baby/children clothing, and small opening at the neckline of an adult garment.

For the most part, the pictures will give the directions.
Sew 3 loops! That's 6 threads strong.

What a clever way to make that loop. Reminds me of macrame, but with a needle.
ReplyDeleteI like this and will have to keep it in mind as I attempt to make dresses for our grandie.
