Good Morning!!! Can you believe that this is the last week of January...already! A couple of weeks ago, we took a look at welt pockets and gained a lot of inspiration. Well, bound buttonholes are nothing more than tiny welt pockets. The problem with bound buttonholes though is that they are small, fidgety and just down right scary to put into a garment that you've worked so hard on. Well, be sure to scroll on down as I have listed some wonderful tutorials and even a tool that makes the process so much easier. But first, let's take a look at a few interesting and pretty buttonholes. This buttonhole is nothing more than a long welt pocket with openings for the 3 buttons. This could make a lovely accent on a garment. I love triangular shaped bound buttonholes. This is obviously from a vintage book. What a sweet look with the addition of the bows for buttons. Everything about this jacket is beautiful! The shape, the matching of the plaid, the bias cut of the plaid on the front, the raised neckline and then....not only did they add bound buttonholes, but they are on an slant. Look closely at this jacket. This is basically the same idea as the first buttonhole above, but in a practical application. The bound buttonhole is long to incorporate the 2 buttons. If you've taken a look at Vogue Patterns, you've seen this lovely coat from Ralph Rucci. Here's a couple of close ups of the buttonholes. Love the addition of the thread loops. Here's another example of slanted bound buttonholes. Beautifully done I might add. Details are what make a garment interesting. This is just a basic bound buttonhole, but look closely. Of course you see that the buttonhole is in a contrasting fabric, but notice the thread color that was used to sew the button to the garment. It doesn't match the button or the garment, but the buttonhole. This is an OMG button hole. The little touch of piping is sensational. I thought that this was a very interesting fabric combination, felted wool and the gingham. Real interest is added with the toggle style button, a little wider buttonhole and the the use of 3 different colors. Now, if you don't look closely, you'll miss the mitered stripes in the buttonhole. Mezzo Couture did a lovely tutorial on this buttonhole that you can it find HERE. The method that was used to create the above buttonhole was also used for this very interesting shaped buttonhole by Diana of Diana's Sewing Lessons. You can find the tutorial HERE. How about this interesting shape from Louise Cutting. You can find the tutorial HERE. Now for a treat!! When I was 16 years old, I bought this tool, This is the Dritz Bound Buttonhole Tool. I have guarded mine with my life. Now, I can make buttonholes without it, but I do love this tool. For many years, the tool was not available. Dritz never allowed their patents to expire, smart on their part, and they are now once again producing the tool. Again, smart on their part. If you do not have this tool, it's one that I HIGHLY recommend getting. I found this link on Amazon. The tool is $4.19, but then of course there is shipping. I also found this link on the Joann Fabrics website. It's a dollar more than the amazon price, but the shipping might be cheaper, so check it out. Making beautiful bound buttonholes is just like making beautiful welt pockets, it takes practice. But please don't shy away from making the buttonholes as they can really set your garment apart. Have a lovely week! Rhonda
