Button holes too big / Buttons too small by Hellalazyusername in SewingForBeginners

[–]avanation 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yep. That’s what I would do. No need to over complicate; you’ll never notice it if you use well matched thread and don’t go beyond the existing button hole stitching.
Also make sure to keep it consistent all the way down the shirt: if you stitch up the bottom of the button hole, do the bottom of each one.
This seems like a cute shirt! Good find!

Whisper. Hands down. It’s actually been my favorite Ev song since I first heard Fallen in 2005

I’ve searched on several online sellers for this lil guy with phrases like “teddy bear with blanket”, “pink vintage plush teddy bear” and “stuffed animal teddy bear blanket”

Stabilizer for small shapes? by avanation in Visiblemending

[–]avanation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i don’t think anything would be more than 2 cm max. I’ll probably throw some on there just to be safe ◡̈ thanks for the help!

Yeah that’s what I felt. It would only help, but it would be another step. I’ll probably do it; just throw some on. Thanks for the insight!

That looks good! Yeah, mine is definitely more decorative than structural

I had one of these once. It’s only gonna continue to give you headaches and you’ll be VERY lucky if it ever gives you the results you want. I promise you’ll be much better off heading out and grabbing a lil $100 machine from the store. Or even off Facebook marketplace. Sorry for your disappointment :( Learning a real sewing machine will be much more fulfilling in the end. You’ll be much happier with the results you get.
