Some of the caddy versions have buttons (maybe as many as five) on the top trim for embellishment. Looks cute, right!?! But sewing on the buttons, each one by hand, especially if making several caddies, is a nightmare.
Well, I don't! I pre-thread them and hot glue them on -- so much easier.
I
had one suggestion to use your machine button attach option. Sew each
button to a spare piece of fabric, cut the buttons off the fabric, and
hot glue them then. But the little swatch of fabric on the back of the
button in this process gets in the way of hot gluing the button
thoroughly.
So below are pics of my process:
 |
| Really cute to have buttons on the top -- but it would be a nightmare sewing them all on by hand! |
 |
| Make a group of threads, maybe ten strands thick and thread your first button. |
 |
| Tie a knot on the back as shown. The end of the thread is only 2" long or less -- don't waste your thread here. |
 |
| Cut off the thread right at the knot. You can use your ten-strand thread thing to knot several buttons. The whole process goes pretty fast. Then hot glue the buttons to the trim of each caddy. |
