Hi to All,

This is a quick tip for today, Do you know which is the most important buttonhole? No….. then I’m about to tell you and I might add, when I found this tip, it made my fitting problems disappear. So here is the……

Most important buttonhole

When your garment is nearly finished is the time to mark the buttonholes and buttons.

Mostly you start at the top and mark down, or copy where the pattern is marked.

The most important button and buttonhole is the one on the bust point.

Now you need to know just exactly where your bust point is, and here is how you do it.
Drop a tape measure from where the neck edge and shoulder seamline meet, letting it fall over your bust.
The point where the tape falls away from your body is your bust point.

At this point is where the buttonhole should be placed. If you are doing vertical buttonholes, then place the top of the buttonhole 1/8 inch above the bust point level.

Space your remaining buttonholes up and down from this one.

See, so easy when you know how.
