Network Learning Project- Final Post #4 -

     I began this journey saying, "I think I want to teach myself how to sew my button on my pants."  I never realized how difficult that would have ended up being.  After all of the practice, I am proud to say, I have fixed my pants!!!

     I never knew how much you could learn online.  I learned so much from other people and the different aspects of sewing techniques.  It was definitely a process to make sure I did not sew through to the front on my pants.  Therefore, I had to be extra careful when sewing the button on.  This meant a lot of needles to the finger!

     One new thing I added to the process was something called a "shank".  I went back to some of the videos that I had watched and learned more about sewing.  I wanted to be sure that this button won't come off again.  This "shank" creates a strong hold under the button to keep it form falling off again.  I wanted to be sure to use it this time.


I know that I am not the best at being on video.  I tried to look up as much as I could, but when you are sewing, you want to watch that needle.  I think my next learning project may be on how to focus on a camera.

All in all, I hope everyone enjoys my sewing excursion.  And if you need a button fixed, feel free to call!!
