Understanding Buttons and Buttonholes Booklet

Here is a finish you need to know about if you want to be a fashion designer. Most garments need an opening so you can put it on a person. Woven fabric need seams and closures. You do need to know how to construct the garments you design, even if you never intent to sew them up yourself. Learning about buttons and buttonholes is imperative. When a patternmaker picks the size of button for a garment it includes information as to how big the button is going to be.

The garment will overlap the correct amount based on the size also. Once the pattern is made you should never change the placement of the buttons and the extension. Many sewing beginners try to change this dimension, especially if the model has a large bust. This cannot be done. Many home seamstresses do not read the button size suggested on the purchased pattern and overlap a garment too much, therefore drastically change the fit of the garment. S much to learn before you can be serious about designing. Check out my booklet for learning about Buttons and Buttonholes and how to use them in your designs. There is also patternmaking information in this booklet. This booklet may be purchased on my etsy shop johannafashionworld…all things fashion. Remember that sewing knowledge is a necessity to becoming a fashion designer. You need to understand how fabrics drape on a body and then how to engineer it so it can be mass produced.
