I am so glad to know that I am not the only one who cuts her buttonholes this way! I love these little sewing tips videos!
Wow! I never would have thought to do it that way. Never! Thank you!
I’m really enjoying this series. I’ve long been convinced that Liesl has the best way to do everything in sewing, so I am glad to be adding her small techniques to my own practice 🙂
Thank you so much for saying that, Allie!
Cool!
Thank you for posting this series of videos. I am really enjoying them!
That’s a really good idea. I have been using a seam ripper with a pin across the far end but occasionally that slips up – I like your idea much better, thanks.
Excellent!!! Thanks
I love this! Much less nerve-wracking than trusting a pin at the end to stop the seam ripper.
