 HOW TO MAKE COATS BUTTONHOLES Usually in a coat the buttonhole is padded. To do this whip a cord to the edge of the buttonhole as shown in Fig. 37. Proceed to

work the buttonhole as shown in Fig. 38. In sewing on a coat button, place a match or pin across the button and pass the thread over the match or pin and then through the holes of the button. After seven or eight stitches are taken in each hole remove the match or pin. [23]
