Introduction

This guide will show you how to resew a two-hole button back on a jacket/clothing item. It is an important skill to be able to resew a two-hole button back onto clothing to increase the longevity of the item. This is a more sustainable option, rather than buying a new jacket or sweater. This sewing skill can also be used with other fixes as well, so we made sure our guide was easy to follow for anyone looking to fix their clothes!
