EYELASH BUTTONHOLE
A unique way of reinforcing buUt)nfi(.)les on
loosely woven fabrics or buttonholes in which
tfre stitches have been accidently cut, is to over
cast them with a short stretcfi blind hem stitch.
Overcast each side of the buttonfiole so the far
right stitch falls into the opening of the Itutton
hole and the small zigzag stitclies covet Hie
previous buttonhole side. On completion of one
side of the buttonhole, pivot the fabric with the
needle at the far right in tfie opening of th.e
buttonhole at the bartack. Sew up the other side
in the same manner,
